Battery Cable/Terminal Replacement suggestions?

Hello;

I'm not having any starting issues or anything; its just that my battery terminals are finally showing their age. I will be addressing this before winter comes to avoid any fun surprises on a cold morning....

I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations. I have called all around my area and nobody makes cables; all the the parts-store stuff is too cheap and flimsy for a truck like ours (made for gassers). And I'm not forking out hundreds of $$ for replacement factory stuff.

Since my cables seem to be in perfect condition and just the terminals are worn out I'm leaning strongly to buying these:

These are known as "LarryB's" products. Anybody on here use this product and if so what do you think?


Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

--Matt

I did the exact same upgrade on 3 dodge trucks, but I already had cable ends and the battery clamps I used from ebay said they were for a Hummer, I had the commercial crimper from the swap meet. and you want to get dual wall with adhesive shrink tube. they have worked well for many years now. and the one you show seem like a fair deal not having to search all the parts out.
