Description
The Death of VishnuSuffused with Hindu mythology, this story of one apartment building becomes a metaphor for the social and religious divisions of contemporary India, and Vishnu's ascent of the staircase parallels the soul's progress through the various stages of existence. As Vishnu closes in on the riddle of his own mortality, we wonder whether he might not be the god Vishnu, guardian not only of the fate of the building and its occupants, but of the entire universe.

Carries all the current I want. Super flexible, great price
Size: 8 AWG 3 ft per color, Color: Red and Black
Very nice high quality. Somebody tried to tell me this was aluminum strands. But after test sanding an exposed end, I could see copper color. I believe the confusion is they are individually tinned strands? 🤷 Just sayin...

Much easier to use over trying to put the hard case extension wires in my solar controllers.. very well made.
Now I can feel confident I got the wires in properly.

Read the full description, this not 6 ft of wire
Size: 8 AWG 3 ft per color, Color: Red and Black
item as described but it’s a play on words. I wanted 6 ft of wire, searched found and bought what I thought was 6 ft of wire. I opened package to find two 3 ft pieces. Rest of description accurate but it should not say 6 ft of wire. You don’t go to a hard ware store and and buy four 2 ft boards to make 8 ft.
