Though for the record, Al is magical enough he could probably correctly solder a battery cable using nothing more than a single match and the lead[1] from a pencil.

Team 2410 has a similar pair to the Harbor Freight 10" cable cutters, though ours might be a more generic brand. In the past to solder the connections, we used a butane torch.
