Repairing Battery Booster Pack Cable Clamp

[@ronniehoward6601]

Thanks for the update on Nannie . I am glad to hear she is doing well. I will continue to pray for her and you. Good job on the clamp. That one should hold up a lot better than those plastic ones. Enjoyed watching you work and I'll see you on the next one.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks again for your continued prayers for Nannie and I. That means a lot to us both!! I have to say, I never thought twice about the plastic clamp on the booster pack. That is till it broke!! LOL I was lucky I had saved those old clamps from a set of jumper cables. Take 'er easy and God Bless you Ronnie!!

[@catherinemacdonald8847]

Wow excellent repair job. So glad to hear Janet is doing better. She has always been a remarkable amazing person. And with all your support I know it makes a big difference. I keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Cathy!! Janet and I sure do appreciate your prayers. They mean a lot to us both. I was glad I was able to get this clamp back in service. I use this booster a lot!! Take 'er easy!!

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Good to hear Nannie is getting her exercises, thats a big deal. Nice fix Mike.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I am Nannie's coach and sometimes I'd like to skip a session because it's too hot or whatever, but she won't let me. She insists on doing the exercise routine 3 times a day!! LOL What a woman. She's going to be a real hard body!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@gatorsworld]

That was another great repair. A lot better than buying another pack…..CHEERS

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? For sure eh!! Buying a new booster pack would wipe out my allowance for several months I think!!! LOL It's always a good idea to hold onto the old cable clamps for jobs like this. Take care!!

[@goldwingmoments]

Hey Mike, that's a good instruction video. You checked all the boxes for sure. I am happy to hear Nannie is feeling much better and I pray for her full recovery. The exercise is something she needs to keep working on. God Bless.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks for your kind words for Nannie Larry! She is sure determined to keep at the exercises no matter what!! She amazes me with her determination!! Thanks for watching. Have a great week and take care!!

[@JelenOutDoors]

It's great to have some spare parts to fix something when it breaks. That's why we hang on to things instead of throwing them out. Nice repair Mike. All the best to you and Janet!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That's a fact Paul. And because we save nearly everything, that's why our shops and sheds are always filled to the brim eh!! LOL Take care!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@GrampiesWorkshop Only one problem is the bigger the shop the more stuff we can stuff in them, LOL. Been there and do that. No love though, LOL.

[@twinbrookacres]

I'm glad to hear Nannie is doing better! Nice repair, sure is cheaper than buying a new battery pack.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nannie has the desire to get better and nothing is going to hold her back for long!! I was glad I saved the old clamps from the jumper cables. This booster pack is used a lot around the camp. Take 'er easy!!

[@mikecurtis2585]

Got it going again! We are always praying for you and Nannie 🙏🙏🙏

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Mike!! Thanks again for your prayers. They mean a lot to both Janet and I. This 'little' job took me a while. I had a lot of trouble getting the cable connected to the clamp!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Nice work Mike , that new alligator clip is just the ticket. Cheers

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Lloyd! Yeah, it sure is a lot stronger then the original one! Thanks for the visit. Have a great week!!

[@whenworkisplay]

Good afternoon Mike, great to hear Nannie is doing so well. Tell her to keep up the good work 👍 Very nice repair. A fix/repair rather than a new purchase always gets a thumbs up in my book.The shop is looking good. Have a great week, Ben 👋😎👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Ben. The shop might look good in this video but it's still a mess. Getting better though, just like Nannie!! LOL I'm with you on the repairing rather than throwing out point of view that's for sure. Thanks for tuning in. Take 'er easy!!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

She’s a fighter. Keep working hard Nannie 👍🏻. I probably would have bought a new charger 🥴🤷🏼‍♂️. Nothing Grampie can’t fix 😉👍🏻. Have a great week 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂🇨🇦

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Bonjour!! Yes Luc, Janet is a fighter and she amazes me daily!! I figured it would be a pretty easy job to swap out the clamps on the cable for the booster pack. I guess maybe it was , but it took me most of the afternoon!! LOL I'm out pf practice doing these little projects maybe!! Salut Kathleen et bonne semaine a tous!!

[@janetdickson4451]

Glad you were able to get out to the shop to do this repair. Good job. Glad you didn't trap your finger.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

If I had trapped my finger in that clamp you would have heard me crying all the way back here in the camp!! Love ya!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Hi Nannie J. Always good to see you up and still kicking my friend. I have had to learn how to walk again a number of times and wanted to help you along with those nasty home exersizes called physio. NASTY STUFF but unfortunatly really need to be done and done the right way. I discovered that having someone else to lay beside you. Hmm, Mike ? and do the streaches and bending makes it kind of fun too boot. I already dropped a chat discussing this so it's in your hands now Nannie J. It won't really hurt him much (LOL) and he will have a better understanding a lot of what you are dealing with. See ya later eh. Big hugs to all.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

@@TomokosEnterprize Oh Man Dean, I'm in for it now eh!! LOL

[@SteveRobReviews]

Another job taken care of . Nice one Mike 👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Now that I'm getting some time in the shop, these little jobs are getting done again. Thanks for the comment. Have a great week!!

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good fix buddy and glad to hear that Nannie is doing better take care have a great week

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Tom!! Thanks. Nannie is getting stronger each day!! She's a fighter for sure. I'm glad I was able to get this clamp repaired as I use this booster pack a lot!! Have a great week Tom and take 'er easy!!

[@STTC]

Fabulous well done Nannie,,,,keep working hard. Still wearing those sleeves thats a good sign they are good. Great repair Mike

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nannie is doing great Steve. Her IBS and other conditions are still a big concern for us but as far as her hip goes, she is top of the pot I'd say!! Thanks so much for your support!! Take 'er easy!!

[@stevoj8959]

I just hope the youth of the world watch this because this is a life skill. But then again they would just buy a new one. Repair is becoming a lost art. Good fix Mike. Stevo

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That's a good point you make Stevo. I once had a dream of starting a little business. It was going to be a 'fix it' shop. But when you see the quality of so many 'appliances and tools' these days, a lot of them aren't worth fixing and the rest, like you say, get thrown out and replaced rather than repaired. Sad really eh! Take 'er easy!!

[@tractorbob58]

Great video Mike

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Bob. Take 'er easy!!

[@gravelyman]

Hello Grampie. I kept a couple of those cable clamps just for that reason. They cone in handy for jumper cables as well. I guess that's why we don't throw anything away lol. Great job on the repair my friend and you and Nannie have a great day 🙏🔧👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Artie, you and I are a lot alike. We keep stuff that most would throw out and then we use it at some point down the road eh!! Thanks for commenting. Take 'er easy!!!

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Hi Mike 👋, nice fix video, thank you for the update on Nannie 👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? No problem for the update on Nannie. She is an amazing woman I have to say!! I was glad to get this clamp repaired. I use this booster pack a lot!! Take 'er easy!!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great to hear Janet is better. Go Nannie Go. 👋 Great fix Mike. I know I would have fixed it, somehow. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Noel, that's a good cheer for Nannie. Go Nannie Go!! LOL I like it. I'm able to get back to the shop a little bit more now and I should be getting back to watching KZbin more too, so I'll be dropping by your channel again one of these days! Take care!!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@BruceLyeg]

Good repair Mike. The clamps they come with are garbage. glad to hear about Nannie

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nannie is amazing. She won't give up on this recovery that's for sure!! The plastic clamps look some nice, but you're right, they aren't that great!! Take 'er easy!!

[@gregwells4161]

Great job,luv those tips,say hi to nanny,.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks a lot!! I thought this would be a quick swap of the clamps and about 2 hours latter I realized it wasn't so quick!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@codraven57]

Greaat repair Grampie.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks. I was lucky I had this big clamp because to toss out the charger just because of a broken clamp would have been bad eh! Take 'er easy!!

[@DarrellWellsDifferentStuff]

Hey buddy, nice to hear that Nannie’s is doing well. Just catching up on videos. Take care.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Darrell. Nannie is a fighter for sure and she's working hard to get past this hip replacement!! Take 'er easy!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Great to see so many concerned subs with your girl. That home physio as a real bear but something that may help her along with them is to join her along the journey EVERY day. It will be fun in a way and won't hurt you either. Home is supposed to be a safe place so intentionly hurting yourself at home just rubs folks the wrong way. Fair enough eh. Just a thought bud. Lets see what she has to say as I noticed she is already here.Good post bud.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Dean!! Well sir, I don't do the exercises with her, (and maybe I should) but I am her coach and help her 3 times a day every day to do them. She has been doing the exercises for 2 years in prep for the hip replacement. The surgery was postponed 2 times but she never stopped doing the exercises because she wanted to be ready and give herself every advantage she could for success!! What a girl eh!! Take care Dean!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@GrampiesWorkshop Great bud. That is a cougar in your life. Nothing about her that isn't as Tough as the sourse can say down about it. Besides She will blow you away if she chalenges you doing those moves, LOL. Something to consider eh. LOL !

[@EverydayProjects]

Nice job, Mike. Yes, that's a finger trap waiting for a place to happen. Be careful!! My uncle got his gonads stuck in a bear trap one day while taking a crap and it was very painful but he' says it wasn't as painful as when he was running away and the chain ran out. Always another thing to be careful of out there. Great end-swap on the clamp

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Ouch Ouch Ouch!! Man even just reading this made me hurt!! LOL I'm glad to get back in the shop and get some of these little jobs caught up!! Take care!!

[@EverydayProjects]

@@GrampiesWorkshop Even worse, after the chain broke and he was free, he stumbled into an abandoned well and landed on a sharp stick. Crawling out, he stuck his finger in a live light socket. Then, later that night, when he finally got home, his wife gave him heck...wondering where he'd been! It was a bad day!!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

@@EverydayProjects I'd say it was a bad day!! He must have been a Liberal (spit)

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Can get a good charge out of this video (especially now that the clip is fixed) 😁👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha!! And that's a good thing eh! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Hey, I have never had one of these power packs before but I do have a set of Jumper cables I made a very long time ago using #4/0 Welders stinger cables 24 feet long (great as they are very flexable at -35C) and the roundish clamps with everything soldered in place. Overkill, , , Probably as that is my way but after almost 40 years they are like new and can reach the battery of most vehicles, HD equipment. 12 or 24 volt transfers with 120 amp loads don't bother them at all. In your case you can charge up this box by jumping it and take it anywhere anytime. Handy and cheaper than the $145.00 I put out to make up my cables . All good ole son.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Your jumper cables sound like winners to me. I find a lot of jumper cables aren't long enough, but you got that point covered, 24 feet long!! Awesome. Another thing too is the flexibility of the cables. It seems you use jumper cables most times in winter when it's colder that your step mother's breath and a lot of the cables you buy these days are so stiff in those cold temps they won't even uncoil!! Thanks for commenting Dean!! Take 'er easy!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@GrampiesWorkshop Shine on Mike. You have all the bases covered.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

What one works best for anothers . it is important to use what works best for you. We all have nicer needs from the neighbors things, LOL.

[@wendingourway]

Now that sure was a handy repair! Now I've got to check mine to see if it is plastic or not. Maybe you'll clue someone in to making the boosters with plug in cables or clamps, so if one does break makes it easier to replace. Better than throwing the whole thing out as I'd never be one to be able to replace a clamp. Awesome stuff! Good to hear that Nannie is still progressing well...always in my thoughts and prayers. Can good care and hope you are keeping cool up there.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's shew goin'? Thanks so much for your kind thoughts and prayers Bruce!! That means a lot to both Janet and I. You know Bruce I was thinking of just adding a plug so I could easily connect the clamps to the booster pack. I had a set up in the tractor shed that I could have used too. But I thought, this is just a simple little job of changing over the clamps, it can't be too complicated. Well it took me all afternoon! LOL Glad I did it though as these booster packs are too pricey to just throw out because a clamp broke. Say Arrf Arrf to Otis and take 'er easy!!

[@wendingourway]

@@GrampiesWorkshop I have some new kitchen faucets to put in and am dreading the day that I start. YT and the instructions say less than an hour...but I know much better from my own experiences on anything in the past that it will be an all day event and better be prepared to have the water shut off for that whole period! LOL No shut off valves just under the sink...guess it was a cost cutting measure when these places were built...so it will all need to be turned off at the main. Always something! LOL

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

@@wendingourway It's a good idea to add the water shut offs under the sink for sure. And here's a word of advice, never start a plumbing job on a Sunday, because you'll always need extra parts and the plumbing shops may not be open!! Just sayin'!! LOL Good luck Bruce. You got this buddy!!

[@wendingourway]

@@GrampiesWorkshop Great words of advice...learned from experience! lol

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

@@wendingourway You ain't lying!!!

[@DIYVariety]

The best part of the video was that nanny or janet was better,

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Jason. I'm kindda glad Nannie is doing better too!! Thanks for the nice comment and take 'er easy!!

[@jackcollins2344]

nice repair on the jump box... My I ask about your drill press wood table, Is that something you made in your shop or did you buy it? If you made it did you make a video about how it was made?

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks a lot for the nice comment Jack. I made that wooden table top for the drill press about 30 years ago I'm sure. I found the plans in a 'Fine Woodworking' magazine. I have never made a video about it. You have a keen eye though Jack to pick up on that. Maybe I'll do a video review of the table and you can get some ideas from that. Thanks again for commenting. Take 'er easy!!

[@jackcollins2344]

Sounds good thank you Mike
