Was looking for something easy while I figure out some parasitic draw issues. This has the added benefit of being cheap too. Thanks for the tip!

Perfect for folks who leave’s the work place for months. I’m tired of looking for wrench to disconnect the battery. Cool ass truck.

Oh! Lawd! That truck is beautiful! The sound of the opening and closing doors are heaven! Brings back memories of my childhood!♥️

I have a 97 Merc C36 AMG with a drain and I just installed a new ground and this exact kill switch after I destroyed my ground wire from moving it too much. One of the best restomod addons I've ever done!

I never new what those were at car shows I've been too.thanks for sharing l thought they were just a fancy battery terminals, now I know.God bless yall real good.

Cool! Thank you for sharing A shop told me it will cost me $300 to install a kill switch.

E X C E L L E N T video / tutorial AND terrific cars! Well done, well said. Many thanks.

You guys Definitely gave me Peace of Mind with this Battery Kill Switch!!!! Thank You!!!!

o.g.g! love it! I have a 89' burb 'Suzy' I've been slowly working on. 245,000 miles and a battery still going after 7 years. 10/15 was the date on it. thanks fir the info on the kill switch install.

Most helpful…girls tinker with their vehicles too! I like to know What and how to take care of issues with mine! God bless

Excellent. Must check out your others. Loved her spontaneous ending. Alie, peace-out girl. 😁

Recap... I went out there everything was going good until I dropped the screw from the battery some where at the bottom of the engine. I thought I was going to die so I came in the house and looked to find a screw that would fit the nut and finally I did. Im so proud of myself one car down two to go. Your video helped me so much remember Im female 62...

Oh my god thank you sooo much. Im female and Im car smart but didnt want to do it myself as I have two cars and truck I need to put those on. You made my day. Thanks Liz

Beautiful restoration and color. I have an interesting memory of the metal dash on my Uncles old F100.

Excellent, excellent video hoss!! Thank you for posting, y’all are great!!

Thanks man. I wondered how they work. Easy good explanation. Happy new year and all the best.

Hit the nail right on the head, or the battery right on the post. Have a ‘69 4x4 C10 that suffers from this and I’ve already placed my order through Amazon. I’m pretty sure I know what my battery drain culprit is I just need the time and space to track it down. In the mean time thanks for the walk through on how simple it can be to solve this problem and provide a little anti-theft protection

You had me subscribed at "these are the wrong C-10 keys"! Lmao That really don't sound like a bad problem to have! Awesome!

That cool for older cars, that don’t have much electric stuff

Thanks for the video this saved me a couple thousand because Mazda wanted to replace the sensor in my doors to fix my problem where it said it's my only way Have a great day

great anti-theft device as well, just take the knob with you , even if they pop the hood, there is no way to tighten the thing to make a connection

I have a 97 gmc sierra would this help for a parasitic draw ? I have to take the terminal off every time I turn it off

picked one of these up for my El Camino. i only drive it occasionally so this switch and a solar charger does the trick . i got my switch at princess auto here in Canada. or you can get at harbour freight too. cheers

I like the Corvette launch lol Sweet

Seems to me if that threaded bolt doesn't *lock* in place in some way, vibration or just sitting could change the bolt's position, either cutting power while in operation, or connecting it unintentionally while parked.

Sweet!!. Awesome to find a new channel on the tube .

I see I'm a little bit late for the drawing lol. New subscriber! Nice video, just purchased one from Harbor Freight

I have a problem with the tapered post. I cant tighten then negative on my 75 Vette without it slipping off

Great nice and simple, thanks

Thanks ally

Any lead acid battery will "self discharge " just sitting by itself without any load quickly. I believe about 1% a day or 30% a month.

I'd be crazy not to subscribe, great and really exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

New subscriber....good luck on your subscription goal!

I noticed you were missing one hand while tightening up the negative pole. It isn't easy filming at the same time. But well done job! Love the video. Nice cars!

Buying several!!!

Will the knob get loose from vibration when driving ? Thanks 👍

Very funny to see parts from my Corvair on a Corvette - hood prop. Will never do any business on Amzon. Bezos has enough money.

Me personally I would use a fuse with with a reset that's way easier to install and a lot smarter .

This video had me in the first 15sec....😆 🤣 😂 iam inn

Lol interesting switch placement Too bad this would be extra hassle for a modern car, no more car alarm and automatic trunk/hood opener on your key fob lol

Trickle charger is your answer.

Love this I need to get one

The newer trucks the battery is in the back of the engine

If u disconnect battery with switch will u not loose all your drive mode setting radio setting and stuff ?

Will this stop a car thief? Seems easy to work around this

Thanks

I wonder if I could use this idea on my boat as a quick disconnect?

Nice video but...@2:17 you said "You never wanna put these on the positive side (battery) & i'll show you why in a minute." I watched all the way to the end & missed seeing the "Why" explanation. (Not trying to catch mistakes),i sincerely have always wanted to know why not put this type disconnect on battery positive side ? It would certainly cut the power,imo. Thanks

Does this help for parasitic draw?

I use a battery trickle system to keep my battery charged. Do I move lever to off when it's charging?

Excellent concept. Subbed.

Hello, I am glad I found this video. I have been having a terrible time trying to figure out which disconnect switch to buy. I don't have a nice hot rod like you guys do, I only have my little 2006 Chevy HHR LT 2.2 and it is giving me fits with a parasitic draw. I know absolutely nothing about mechanics, but I am learning about this anyway. Can you tell me what would be a good disconnect switch for my vehicle. I wanted a remote switch, but they seem complicated. my battery is in the boot also, so that would have made it nice to be remote, but I am tired of dealing with it. My battery says it's a T5 Cold cranking 650 craking 800. It also says some other stuff (EN LBN 2) and (BCI 90) what ever that means. I like the disconnect switch you show here. What kind is it, and where can i buy it, if you think it will work in my car? Thank you in advance.

I'm looking for a mechanical quick disconnect for a pontoon battery. So I can quickly remove battery. Would these work? Because this doesn't fit the positive.

Would that knob vibrate loose and kill the engine while I'm driving down the interstate at 75?

Could you use two of these for a dual battery set up on a RV?

Awesome, I'm going to change my battery cable ,thank you guys and God bless you !

Wait,so you have to go open the hood each time you want to crank your car this is good 👍 if you want to store a car for days,weeks etc but daily No

How do I do this same thing but with side post battery 😞

If it's just the radio flattening the battery just remove the radio fuse.

Is it necessary to bolt the cable if it's a snug fit around the end piece?

Also, is it safe to drive a vehicle with one of these on? (dumb question)?

My car drains the battery and I don’t wanna pop the hood all the time so I will get the remote kill switch

Will doing this erase the any memory on your radio?

the Fred flintstone one with old style arc & 2 bolts in each side at autozone is misscing the plastic rubber insulator gizmo entirely, like a couple of caveman bricks that just detach, with knob. astounding dumness👋😒

The (negative) terminal!...always?

I put mine on the positive side should I change it to negative?

Dude thats a ratchet wrench so couldn't you have just more easily put that on there to save the effort and wear on the nut :D I wish I had a ratchet wrench I have yet to get around to buy any....and those who own them don't even use em lol

You didn’t add the link in the description. Could you also supply the “name” of these so us canadian Amazon guys can find them on the Canada site? Cheers 🇨🇦👍🏼

How can I use this cut off item and still activate my alarm?

Did not say why not on the positive

Will this prevent theft

😎👍💯great video

Can u use. This devise on positive terminal. Also I have Side posts

hi ,can you make a video for disconnecting battery (negative terminal ) by a switch through dashboard ??

Y’all from upstate? I see the bills cap

Yes sir i have 95lex sc400 my battery goes dead after sitting for 3weeks will this work on my car its top post battery also

Why not do it on the positive side? If you had SOMETHING TO ground it would still drain wouldn't It???

Can I take that nut off so they can't steal my truck? I'm not that mechanical.

Be careful They Hacksawed my steering wheel and slide the club out

$5 disconnect switch on a $250 battery. I don't know if I would trust that cheap switch to be reliable.

but even if you get a less dum model, like yours - I noticed the rubber thread insulator doesn’t go all the way, - if only 1 of thE engineers put a permanent non-movable round ledge on bottom & top of bolt going through lower rectangle, & no threads on that portion, then 1 could make sure lower portion lowers, & raises.. maybe to advanced for the engineers? perhaps the 1/10th of a cent for 2 perm. washers & extra 1/3” of thread rubber is just too prIcE? inconCvabl moronisism😑

These are junk and not reliable. I would suggest going for a knife switch type.
