... What the flying ? It doesn't translate very well in a picture but this thing is like gold plated compressed sand/rock filler ... What is this garbage? Snapped it off in my battery not that it was particularly difficult to remove what with it not actually being a real bolt..
Where can I get a quality version of this?
Edit: ION ? Doesn't quite have the same punch of the original term used

Hm. They must be sintering them rather than machining them from bar stock.
I've never noticed any of these to be different from any others, quality wise. I suspect they all come out of one bin somewhere and just get different brand labels.
Your options would be to try a different brand - maybe it will have been made different, or make one yourself using a long bolt and cut off the head, making it a stud, or pay a machinist to make you one all custom like.

I tried one similar to this and I snapped the piggy-back bolt off instead... :/ Can't win. I currently have one of the Stinger ones and one similar to those installed until I can find a set that can handle more than putting them more than a half turn over finger tight.
I'll look in to the Streetwires ones though..
Not sure why anything that would be installed on a car isn't just a standard minimum of grade 5 steel.. would resolve a whole lot of stupid like this from ever happening.. I'm sure most anyone would pay the extra few cents per bolt, terminal or whatever it may be.
Blargh

Clearly I'm stronger than I think.. The circumstances in which these are breaking are kind of ridiculous, in my opinion anyways.. It's only a battery terminal BUT on the same token I don't want it wiggling loose so a full turn over finger tight didn't seem like much to ask but nope, wasn't having any of it. Got maybe a very gently applied half turn o_O
