After owning several big-box-store come-alongs which eventually needed
replacement for one reason or another, I saw K4ZA's Lug-All. This is a
quality solidly-built piece of professional gear, not cheap, but
available in various sizes with various cable lengths direct from the
manufacturer and elsewhere (I bought mine on eBay for about half the
new price). I am very pleased with mine. No affiliation, etc., etc.
