Replacing battery cables, question regarding positive terminal

$70 is still a little hefty (I'm an FC owner, remember

). However, it's probably worth it for a job well done. I'll probably end up buying that one eventually. It's not like I'll need to build the battery cables anytime soon, anyway.

While we're at it, which products and tools do you recommend for smaller gauge wire crimps?

I actually use and own one of those "Deka" hammer crimper for the bigger stuff.
I don't need another huge set of "pliers" just to handle the occasional 8AWG - 2/0AWG crimp here and there.

For the smaller stuff...
If I want nice and tidy, I'll grab my MSD modular crimp pliers with the proper set of jaws.
If I'm lazy, then I'll just grab my set of Channellock crimpers (blue handle).
