The best lugs for heavy gauge wire (other than cadweld) are the ones made by 
T&B, Burndy, Panduit, etc. that you need a crimper for with the hexagonal dies.

Are you looking for bare or insulated ground wire?  I dislike the THHN wire 
which sheds the nylon skin like a snake after a few months in the weather.  For 
short runs (grounding radios, etc.)  I like 8 AWG automotive primary wire type 
GPT, Tessco has some nice stuff from Consolidated, but too expensive for long 
runs.

FYI, I was surprised to see our Menards now carries welding cable.

Check with your local electrical supply store that electricians use. 

Ours is called CES.  I think rexel is another one.

  Does anyone know where I can find this?  The hardware store doesn't have 
anything even close (10 gauge was their largest).  I also need the fork or 
round ends to clamp onto the wire.
