May 30, 201312 yr i get my localy at dealer electric its pricy but vry worth it... there is a huge difference ill show ya later i have to run now.
May 30, 201312 yr Admin That myth was formed because 90% of people are too ignorant or lazy to properly inform themselves about products they are interested in. That's the only reason.
May 30, 201312 yr Any of you attempt using anything bigger than 1/0 with any luck? I'm thinking about upgrading to at least 2/0 and calling it a day. Just go to 1/0. Skip 2/0 if you have the money to purchase 1/0.
May 30, 201312 yr ok... so the heat shrink i use made by 3M it is ITCSN it is glue lined and marine grade it is the best shit around. and if you look at these pics you can see the glue oozing out as it seals and grabs the casing of the wire. its not cheap but it works like a boss and it keeps the case from sliding
May 30, 201312 yr Tape is much better. No need for different OD tubing. http://store.cableorganizer.com/c-37960-adhesive-lined-cross-linked-heat-shrinkable-tape.aspx

May 31, 201312 yr well i know what i use works.. i have never use shrink tape.. i do know that normal electrical tape will not help with the case sliding
May 31, 201312 yr Author soo i guess that 7$ shipping was next day, because I gots the cable today in the mail compared to weldingsupply the jacket is alot tougher and bigger. I could barely cut the jacket with a box cutter.I thought the wire was bigger but still fit into my 1/0 ring terminals soo im conlcuding that the jacket is also bigger. yea i just put electric tape around the terminals while they are still warm, shrink wrap seems like it would take forever and a day.

May 31, 201312 yr I've worked with their 1/0, 2/0 and 6 gauge. All quality wire, at a price that cant be beat in my findings.

I got my 90ft of 1/0 today. It barely fit in my 1/0 lugs either but that is a good thing. Stuff was much more flexible than I figured.
July 8, 201312 yr Jon told steve who told me and I told shogen. Mystery solved. Electronbeam is great to deal with. I went to order one of their facebook specials and the lady informed me that they had some end cuts she could sell cheaper. And theyd throw free shipping in. I think it was like a 58 foot piece and a 70 foot piece ( I was going to order 100 feet). Anyways when I got it it actually turned out to be a 58 and 95 foot piece so I got 25 feet free. Think it ended up being like 1.25ish a foot for 2/0
