Is it possible to have enough lugs?

[JJJJ]

It never seems to fail. I buy extra lugs because I love DIY and I seem to go through them like there is no tomorrow.

Just recently I used one of my last 1/0 lugs even though I recently bought more.

I keep them tidy in separate bags for organization. Yet they seem to evaporate into thin air.

One of those mysteries I may never understand.

Buy in bulk...
Get storage cabinets for organizing them...



And buy new ones when the need for another cable arises.

You buy a kit, then end up only using one kind out of the kit which of course didn't contain enough of that one kind to finish the job

I am fond of Selterm. Just placed another order. As usual, bought more than needed. They seem to fall into the "missing sock" twilight zone.

My biggest problem is to keep consolidating them into one place. Clear top organizers and write awg/hole size and see what I’ve got at a glance. Always thinking, oh well I’ll probably never need that size again and proven wrong in less than a year. Just about to start another trolling battery/whatever build. Son of a gun, no 6AWG 1/4”(6mm) for the bms. Selterm’s will be here in hours via Amazon prime.

Clear top organizers

Looks nice. Where did you get yours?

I justify the price break at 25 as being worth it even though I only need 5 for my current needs.

So far I think I will be able to get away with 4 awg or 2/0 for my build so for 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 that’s 6 different lugs I have in hand for the larger stuff. I don’t count the 18-10awg small ring lugs I buy at 50 a pop.

I buy them in bags of 100 "just in case", then use two!

That reminds me, I used my absolutely, very last MC-4 connector yesterday, luckily it was of the correct sexual persuasion!
