Dunno dude.
I just bought the nology ground strap, cleaned my grounds with rubbing alcohol and re-crimped like two of them.. good as new.. i think the nology ground strap cost ~$20 and ground ends + alcohol were less than $5 combined.

Exactly

Really just clean your old grounds

If anything 6 bucks toltal for a few feet of 8-10 gauge wire and some crimp on o-rings at any electronics or hardware store would be the same as those 20 dollar ebay kit.

I got one of the twenty buck grounding kits, I used like three of the wires and then installed the grounding block and four more wires in my buddies truck and I think I still have a few of the wires left over...


Is it going to get you power? unless your grounds are hella messed up NO........ But in my case the precrimped wires and battery terminal is worth the 20 bucks shipped plus as I said I was able to use all the pieces across two different vehicles....

i always wondered if it was worth it myself. It looks distracting more than anything as a lot of us like wire tucks and then you have ground wires going everywhere.

it doesnt matter if you have 500 grounds. as long as your existing grounds are functioning properly, you will gain nothing.
