Is this you are wanting to sell? Your original post is a bit confusing as you ask what it is worth which indicates you want to sell it

 

[How570]

You bought it so you know the current value.
Go to your nearest welding shop and i'll bet they can make up some cables for you.

I am happy I was not the only guy that was a bit confused. I will add a bit though. Copper is like buying gold so it might be best for a man to make sure it is something he wants to sink money into before buying copper,they don't take that back

 

[How570]

Sorry For The confusion

That is a very cool find! There’s charts online for gauge thickness if you wanted to make your own. I watched this video and it’s basically how I’d make a welding lead..

Just for poops and squirts I checked the discount farm store here . 30 feet of #2 copper (2 15 ft leads), a cheap ground clamp and a cheap holder was $234 plus change.

over 8 feet I would drop to 1 gage and get a higher rated clamp, look for usa made copper cable and bronze clamps not the shltty chinese stuff. After welding a few minutes feel the ground clamp and wire, if its warm/hot you have resistance issues.

I do not disagree. I posted the screenshot to show the cost of the "discount" option.

You are correct if the ground clamp is hot you got a issue. I had one of the welders at work tell me his ground was getting red at the welding unit. Sure enough it was.
