Ground Cable for sale thread.

Can someone point me to the link for the ground cables for sale. I've searched every for sale section.

There was someone making a "kit" that was way overpriced. Keep in mind this cable is short and it's best to leave the factory ones alone so this would be just a "booster". Because of this it doesn't need to be a fat cable at all. Some guys just went to local autoparts store and got one easy. I pasted some posts to help you. Sorry I can't credit them now as I saved them for my own reference not intending to post them, they are not my own. The charts and data were my own research. If I wasn't clear I intended to go with 6ga wire. Some guys didn't understand the amps and distances etc and went far overkill on thickness.

I love the feedback from people on the ground cables. 50% of people say that its a rip off and why would you spend money on a ground cable when you can make your own for $6, with crappy auto parts store stuff. Then the people who buy the cables I make have nothing but good things to say. The quality is there, the customer service is great, and they are very happy to pay a little extra to support a small American business. I have been called a scammer on facebook groups, instagram, you name it... People have told me that if you have a hotstart issue, you have a bad starter not a bad ground. I was always very transparent with my product, I even directly displayed how much the materials cost me, shipping cost me, and how much profit I made which isn't even worth my time to make them honestly. I was trying to support my car community. My post was taken down due to "corporate advertising" so I am no longer advertising here. The cables are 25" for both cables so please feel free to go make your own everyone. I buy all of my supplies on windynation. All in you can order your own supplies for $10 a cable, then spend $30 on a crimping tool for 0g and do it yourself.

You don't deserve that hate, everything was great and quick to arrive. Let people do what they do, you won't please everyone. YOU did help out your community and we appreciate that. I will always help out small business over big box stores even if it costs a bit more.

While I know that I could have bought from a box store, from Amazon, or even could have crimped myself (I have the tools needed), I chose not to and wanted to support a fellow member instead. Not every decision should be only decided by dollar value. That mentality is what killed the Mom and Pop shops. I don't know if you made money on it or not, but I hope you did. Time is always a cost to consider and nobody should work for free. You offered a service for people that probably didn't even know they "needed" it. It brought a lot of attention to the grounding issue of these cars. Pretty sure a lot of people bought those, so I know I am not alone in seeing the value of this.

TLDR, Thank you for your product, 10/10 would buy again. Consider supporting the little guy, corporate can afford it.

Well that just sucks!! No wonder I couldn't find it and share it for those who wanted a GOOD home made quality one.. I would have bought yours, but already had the Autozone ones in my parts room. I thought the other ones offered were a bit "over priced" in my book. Thanks for making the ones that you did!
