The negative of my wife's car battery pole is slack to touch. This is not good! It is so slack I can remove it by using 2 fingers.

Corrosion.

As you can see the pole has significant corrosion. This needs to be removed.

The Tool.

Carefully brushing the pole and the clamp, I made sure all surfaces were clean.

Completion!

Using a 10mm Spanner I tightened till snug. Now the clamp is secure on the pole and the vehicle ready for the road!
