Is this wire made up of copper or aluminum ?

It's made of copper, 16 gauge. Nice and flat, about 1/2" wide. Also very flexible

I honestly have no idea if they are solid copper strands or copper coated aluminum. I am not about to strip the rubber off to find out! They are awesome heavy duty cables though that I have had many compliments on them helping people out with a jump. They're Aces in my deck of cards!

Its metal might be aluminum I tend to think it maybe zinc......but metal for sure.....

Someone in the reviews said that it is copper clad aluminum. That is the best reason for me to avoid it. Aluminium (or for us Yanks, aluminum) is the one metal that I have found impossible to solder. The most durable insulated wire is "oxygen free." That means that the bright, shiny wire is encased in plastic, and if it is copper, I can solder the stripped-off ends to make them free from oxydation as well as a much better, solid, electrical connection.

I really don't know. It looks like it could be aluminum, but it's very strong, so I'm not sure.

No unfortunately, they are not purely copper. I believe it is an alloy. The wire appears silver in color, thus cannot be a single conductor made of copper.

The wire that I received was copper. This is a good question and I didn't think to ask it until after I placed my order. But the wire is copper and a good quality.

Copper clad aluminum. They did not make it clear in description but it works fine so far. I know because I chopped it down into two sections of cable.

Aluminum I belive. Some good things is that it's true 8 gauge and very flexible wire .

No, the kit is Copper Coated Aluminum, meaning that they are aluminum strands that are copper plated. The cables are both 0 AWG (1/0).

No. It's in the product description. They are copper clad aluminum. "High-strand count (0.254mm x 26 strands) copper clad aluminum conductors"

It is a thick wire, thought the plastic coating is somewhat weak. I'm guessing 14 gauge.

I don't purchase items made of aluminum. I'm pretty sure this is stainless steel. I threw the box away, so I cannot check completely for you.

Not sure but it's not aluminum. It's heavy, not sure about the warranty. But for the price it's worked really well. I've stripped about 40 pounds of copper so far. No problems.

Haven't tried aluminum, but 1/16 304 stainless sheets with .035 309 ss flux core wire seems to work well.
