1/0 terminal rings, what brand?

i actually have both, and i thought the stingers might be thicker ,but there not....i did notice that they are slightly stiffer though over the raptors....but i have been using the raptors lately and have had no problems

 
Too expensive just get some 1/0 lugs from an electrical supplier. like 80cents a piece. or some I got from Oriely's auto parts, for like $3 if you have top terminals they tighten up with bolts/nuts you can get them super tight dont even need to crimp/solder.

i went to an auto part store and they did have 1/0 lugs but my stinger 0 gauge wouldnt fit but they were not fresh cut they were twisted, maybe i should make a new cut and see if they fit then

 
twisted wire does have a larger diameter than fresh cut. i prefer a fresh cut anyway.

most autoparts stores have bare copper lugs. they oxidize quickly in a car environment. i only use tinned ring terminals.

i've also noticed they are typically smaller, not sure why that is, but i have seen it often.

i've also seen a 5-pin relay that didn't have a N.C. contact (instead the center pin was tied to the N.O.). That is dangerous and stupid - i use N.C. contacts for circuits that would be damaged if I put in that non-standard relay.

when buying from a store, you can't trust that what they have is what you actually need. you should always verify for yourself.

if you have a slide caliper you can measure the I.D. of the ring terminals you have and compare that to standard AWG wire O.D.
