The wires (and/or copper strap) is clamped between two heavy brass
plates that are tightened by a good sized bolt. I'd guess that you could
put almost any practical size of wire through it, at least AWG#2.
Another thought for Jeff -- last I looked at NEC, they want ground rods
at the service entrance to be completely buried, with the connection
below grade. There's a specified depth, don't remember what it is.
