They are a bit pricey but they are top quality. I used a combination of Anchor and Bluesea components for my dual battery installation on my 1997 LX450 (Land Cruiser).

I like having the right part for the right job. These work great in my boat and are probably the best out there. The cheap stuff will work but at some point, they corrode and it is usually at the worst time. These work well in a marine environment and are very durable. I would advise using Ancor's adhesive lined heat shrink tubing with these if you are in a marine environment. It costs more but you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever if you do.

Good lugs. There are better out there. Flared entry which helps greatly on installation. Wall thickness is not as thick as the heavy duty lugs I get from the best boat wire site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real AWG sized cable lugs
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2017
Size: 10 PackStyle: 4/0 Awg -- 3/8" RingVerified Purchase
Perfect fit for 4/0 lugs. There are a lot of 120mm /10mm lugs being sold as 4/0 3/8. The metric lugs simply don't fit the cable and would require significant deformation to attempt a secure fit.

Using both J1127 welding cable and SGX marine cable, these fit tight. You do need a clean cut to get all strands inserted but the tapered barrel helps.

Lugs are heavy bit not rediculously heavy where they are hard to crimp. I used a hammer crimper with good results, about 10 moderate force whacks with a 16 oz hammer.

Look for 1” glue lined heat shrink to seal the lugs to cable, TEMco brand seems to work well.

Ancor products are always superior. Have used them for years on my vehicles as well as my ocean going sailboats. I make my own cables using Ancor marine grade wire. Right now replacing the wire in my motor home with marine grade wire. It is superior to the wire used by the MH manufacturer. Also replaced the so called three stage, "smart" battery charger with a marine battery charger that is real three stage battery charger.

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2020
Size: 10 PackStyle: 4/0 Awg -- 5/16" RingVerified Purchase
Good fit for the wire cable, easy to get all strands into the cavity pre-crimp. Using a vise tool and heavy 5"-6.6" vise, these lugs take an amazing amount of crimp pressure without tearing open or cracking. Lug can be bent a little if you need an angle other than straight-on, using care and a vise and some heat (not too much heat, you don't want to oxidize its surface or compromise its tin coating)

The best you can get. Quality is excellent! I have yet to put them into service but you can see they are excellent quality and heavy duty. These will stand up to serious abuse. Ancor makes the best products.
