Re: Anderson Power Pole for motors

One more tip. This is the first year I have purchased this pick tool for removing wires/terminals from housings.

For $12 I think it is a good addition to the toolbox. Yes, you can live without it but it works pretty well.

Also, I recommended using cable ties (aka tie wraps) to hold connections together. Other teams swear by these BLOK LOK Clamps. I used them one year but at $1.39 each it seemed like cable ties were a better solution. What do others think?

Also, I see there is another option I have never tried. These Retention Clips These are only $0.49 each. Still not as cheap as a cable tie, but more reasonable than the BLOK LOK. has anyone had success using these? Do Tell...
