Dinse earth cable/clamp recommendation.

[brewdexta]

I swapped out the 3m torch on my Portamig for a 5m torch a while ago, but just realised I forgot to get an extended the earth lead, the one that came with it is 3m and when I dangle the torch and earth through the hatch between the barn and the workshop above where the welder is, its a tad short.

I have a touch of low amps body work to do in the barn on the Kawasaki Mule and I can get by extending the earth lead with a quality jump lead today for a small patch but want to get a proper 5m lead.

Any recommendations or are they all much the same?

I only do it this way if I only have a spot of welding to do in the barn. Most welding is in the workshop, but its a lot quicker than moving the lot downstairs when I do need to. I could get a little inverter MIG for downstairs but most of the stuff I do in the barn is with stick, I rarely do bodywork down there so not worth it. And yes I have chocked the wheels on the welder and put a couple of trestles over the opening since this photo

Cheers

Can you just buy another lead and splice them together?

Try Rapid Welding or Zoro - can't remember where I bought mine from as I ordered some bits from both to make up some extension leads.
Avoid the cheap stuff on ebay, its mostly all jacket.
