Review on πŸ”Œ Cerrowire 050 2000B 50 Feet Gauge Copper: Premium Quality Copper Wire for Various Applications by Richard Simmons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

MY GOD! This copper wire will not fit or work with regular size AWG ring lugs

This is the most ridiculous and lame bare solid copper wire ever found for ring lugs. I first bought what was supposed to work and was supposed to be a compatible ring lug for this particular 6 AWG copper wire, which was 6 AWG ring lugs. The dart was a shock and too wide for a tight, secure fit on that 6 AWG copper wire. Then I ordered 8 AWG ring lugs hoping that the smaller ring lug would fit and work for that gauge of copper wire. NOT CORRECT! Still too big... Finally and finally I decided to order even smaller ring lugs for this 6 AWG copper wire instead of the 10 AWG ring lugs, hoping for a perfect fit. When I got the 10 AWG ring lugs and tried to put that 6 AWG copper wire into one of the 10 AWG ring lugs the response was again a total disappointment to me and my end with that 6 AWG copper wire that I was. Trying to find and find a suitable ring lug as the 10 AWG ring lugs were too small to insert 6 AWG copper wire. Hooray! Eventually I had to make the decision to drill out some of the metal on the last, now undersized, 10 AWG ring lugs using a 5/32 bit to make an odd but compatible ring lug size that fits snugly. and work with that now ridiculous 6 AWG copper wire that was needed for the built in coaxial surge arrester which by law only needs to and must be grounded with 6 AWG solid copper wire like this one I wrote a review for. Well, as ugly and gross as it may sound from my experience and perspective, that damn 6 gauge copper wire will not fit or work with 6, 8 or even 10 AWG ring terminals and instead will only fit a male. made of ring 9. AWG. The connection is a lightly drilled 10 AWG ring terminal. This is because there is no size or thing like a 9 AWG ring terminal on the market. I spent almost $26.00 buying different size AWG ring lugs to find and luck out one of the 3 different sized ring lugs that would fit and work for this 6 AWG copper wire and I had still no luck until I didn't make a 9 AWG. Ring terminal made from lightly drilled 10 AWG ring terminal!
