Has anyone ever severly screwed up the big 3?

In my blazer i used to have, i had a 1/0 big 3 ground come loose. Then all that current tried going through the small stock grounds and it smoked my whole engine harness and alt... Lulz learned from that real quick.

My only 3 recommendations are:

1) Pull on the terminals hard after they are crimped. If you cant rip them off then they are solid. (This may seem like it would loosen it, but a perfect connection won't move ever(pending years of corrosion))

2) Get 2 old or cheap, dry hand towels. When you remove a connection, put them over a terminal. This way you will never have to worry about a short while working.

3) Spend the extra dollar and heat shrink the wires. While the rubber seals that come with terminals look nice, heat shrink covered by the terminal cover provides a better seal.
