no, it's not a doctored picture. that's the tool I use for tensioning alternator belts. hehe
I set it next to my old Pioneer Premiere DEX-M88 so you'd have an idea of the size.

yeah.. I'm still partial to the crimpless connectors myself though, like those ones Stinger makes.
ya just screw em together, and they have a tensile strength of something like 145lbs.
Granted they run about $6-8 each.. but ya don't need too many of em. two at the battery maybe, two at the circuit breaker.. then it should go back into a distro block where it's gor compression screws.

Matt just get a compression fititng or one that uses a set screw connector it will look nicer and it is easier to do. that way you don't need a torch or a vise and you wont have to bang anything. Stinger, phonix gold,and streetwires all make what you will need.
