Jumper cable/Charger clamps

[Kscardsfan]

Is it just me or do jumper cable and battery tender clamps seem to be undersized vs the amount of **** that is wired into modern vehicle terminals now? It's all I can do to fit them onto most batteries now with all the stuff attached to the terminals. It seems even worse with the baby sized clamps on the battery tender. Has anyone else felt like this or am I just getting old and grumpy like my dad and grandfather before me now that I'm in my 40s?

Yes, to both questions.

 

[The Cobbler]

yup

The BEST clamps/clips are made by Mueller. People in the industry know them because they have been around for ever ! They make several different sizes of clamps.




Not Mueller, but very good quality. I use them to make a cable to connect my 2000W inverter to my car battery (short term).

I have a set of battery cables from Sears.
Over 40 years old. Probably Diehard brand.
They are very heavy duty. Probably not quite “industrial grade”, but the insulation is is still flexible after four decades in our various vehicles.
Made in America meant something special … well, except until it didn’t.
