Today we're going to take a quick look at the Cable Clamp. This is going to help you get any cables or wires hooked up to your trailer and run securely. It keeps them from dragging on the ground or going over any kind of sharp edges. It just helps to make that wiring overall easier to do, and more secure, so you don't have any shorts or cuts in your line. This is going to be a nice clamp to use, especially on boat trailers or anywhere that you're going to be encountering a lot of moisture. Since it's made of just a natural white nylon, that's better than the typical rubber coated steel that can tend to rust out over time. more

Review of the Spectro Ring Terminal- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at Spectro Ring Terminals. These are available in either bare copper or zinc plated copper with sizes from 2/0 gauge, four gauge, six gauge, or eight gauge. These ring terminals are particularly useful when you're working with very heavy gauge wiring, especially when you're going to make battery connections like we have here. We've got a few different sizes that we've used, depending on the gauge wire.For our thicker wires here, we're using 2/0 gauge and for our smaller ones here, we're using the six gauge so the larger the number, the smaller the wire. All of the ring terminals are going to be made of a high grade copper to ensure optimal conductivity. If you opt for the zinc plating, that's going to also be resistant against corrosion. more

A Closer Look at the Bulldog Winch Terminal Loop End- Video
Today we're going to take a look at the Bulldog Winch Terminal Loop End for one odd gauge wire for a quantity of one. Now this is a terminal loop end for one odd gauge wire.A few measurements on this, the overall length we'll measure from this end to this end. It's going to be right at 54 mm or 2 1/8 inches. The width on the flat end is going to be right at 19 mm or 3/4 of an inch, and the width on the round end is right at 13 mm or half an inch. The whole diameter on this end is going to be right at 3/8 of an inch.Now this is a copper construction with a zinc plating, and it is for a quantity of one. But that should do it for the review on the Bulldog Winch Terminal Loop End for one odd gauge wire. more

Breaking Down the Open Snap Bushing- Video
Today we're taking a look at an open snap bushing. Now, this open snap bushing converts raw edge metal holes to smooth, insulated holes. It does have the split design located right here, so that provides side entry for segments larger than the bushing inner diameter, and it easily installs in holes with existing cable runs or tubing, or you can make your own hole. You just need to make sure that your mount hole measures 5/8" in diameter.Pushback force of 35 pounds and it's made from a durable plastic construction. It's a really nice design. With this part number you get one bushing. more
