For those who use Toolmaker battery terminals: quick help please

[FML 10+ year member]

Im Buying my 2nd battery for the back today. I already have a new Duralast Platinum AGM under the hood, so im going with another for the rear. The h8 is the biggest one other then the 31 (out of stock) .



Im worried about the recessed battery posts. I have these toolmakers being delivered. Will they work with the style of this.battery? You can obviously only run these terminals 2 ways off that battery, but looks as if it will block the set screw to tighten em to the battery post? ? I need to know if anyone else has run into this, if it's a problem or not. If som ill just get the smaller group 65 with normal posts up top.

Might not work

May need to cut an allen-wrench or replace the set-screw with a bolt that has the same threads.

I used a different style battery terminal setup for my recessed top-posts.

I was thinking maybe flip them over and see if they'll fit

Nobody is going to know for sure, you'll just have to put them on and try

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

Uhm, only 1 problem with that: the batteries arent in stock. I cant just take my terminals down and test to fit. I'll have to order, then return then order again for the right one if not.

And thats why i asked for "people with experience with toolmaker battery terminals " to chime in. People without that experience, your guess is as good as mine and therefore useless in my query.

Take them to auto zone and see if they carry something similar, and try the positive labeled one on the negative terminal. So that the set screw sticks out past the battery.
