ABSTRACT:
A cable connection assembly which includes a screw or bolt member threadably receiving a nut member prior to insertion through the aperture of the battery cable and into the threaded aperture of the battery terminal. The nut member is withdrawn to a point adjacent the head of the bolt member. The bolt member is then passed through the cable aperture and hand tightened into the terminal aperture. Thereafter, in one embodiment, a first tool engages the bolt head and a second tool engages the nut, whereupon the nut is tightened against the washer cable end. In the process, the torsional force on the battery terminal is substantially eliminated, with the tightening of the nut, while maintaining the position of the bolt, placing a slight axial force on the terminal during connection. For disconnection, both tools are attached to the respective parts, and the nut is loosened while the bolt is maintained in position, resulting in no torsional force on the terminal. Alternatively, either or both of the nut member and bolt head may include wing members for enabling manual operation.
