Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works but doesn't excel

This is a copper bar that fits in a 19" rack and is pre-made for the ten screws that come with it. stick to the ground. This is a disadvantage as this usually requires 6 AWG wire that cannot be wrapped around the screw. If you go to your local hardware store you'll likely find grommets for 6 AWG, but they're most likely aluminum, which isn't directly compatible with copper. The width also sheds copper shavings when you tighten the screws to avoid shorting through copper Splinters falling through the openings. The width also does not include the floor mounting screws that ensure the connection between the rack and the grounding rod. These screws dig into the surface of the tire to ensure contact. Depending on your use and terrain, these screws may be a code requirement.
