If you happen to have c clamps that will fit the situation , they are excellent for connecting most lawn tractor batteries . Heavy duty are best but your light weights will usually work . These pictured when re-positioned to vertical make excellent handles for lifting and carrying .

SeniorCitizen, when I saw the photo, I thought the OP was about lifting the battery. What's the advantage of using clamps?

I believe you'll experience the advantage when you attempt to fit a metric wrench on a U.S. nut or a U.S wrench on a metric nut . No trips to the tool box or back to the tool box .

Have you ever had to clean the corrosion from the battery post , screw , nut and cable end ? The C clamp makes it easy . I suppose we could say the advantage of clamps is they serve 2 purposes .

Actually Brass works best but in keeping with the cheap shinese construction just go with old steel pliers.

Dont forget to go for a quick swim at the beach before picking to the C clamp Battery holders. The Salt Water makes it more fun!

Snarks are Fun, Teach you the basics of Not to Fall off to far out at Sea with a Big Battery that will attack SHARKS! Im Not being negitive but Im Positive the Battery will sink with or without Current. if its Litium it will just explode and catch your snark on fire.
