There are nice. They work just like a collet. Heat shrink over the top.

I don't need the battery ends, using the pre-made battery cables for positive to cut-off switch, and negative to chassis. I run two of the pre-made lug ended ground cables from each side frame to block.
The welding cable is from the cut-off switch to a firewall mounted bulkhead connector.
Curious if I should put a 150-200A circuit breaker between the battery and cut-off switch to protect the run of welding cable and cable to started, or would that add extra resistance to the circuit?

I worked for a fairly big telephone company for many years, they furnished us with multiple size crimpers for splicing the smaller gauge telephone wires up
I wish I had been able to bag some of the larger crimpers and connectors for 000 down to maybe #8 gauge, but I didn't whiney
The alternative solder and heat shrink works good for me up
A lot better than the cheaper crimp on ends you can buy from your general automotive parts store shruggy I buy Belden connectors when I can get them up

I'm crimping mine, my brother has the correct crimpers that he used when he worked in coal mines.
