Most of the commercially available stuff will have been machine-crimped and is almost certainly the cheapest cable they can get away with so immediately that puts yours ahead of theirs.

At that length, the 8A cable will happily survive 16A+ in short bursts, certainly long enough for test purposes anyway so should be an excellent general purpose test set.
