Cheap Grounding System, worth it??

Grounding System
What do you think of this grounding system? I went to home depot today to make my own grounding system and it cost me like 28 bucks for all the wire and connectors. I returned all the stuff because I remembered seeing this one on ebay. The cables are pre-built and it is cheaper than the home depot stuff. Is this kit worth it?? Thanks.

For $20 I don't think you could go wrong.

Looks ok, but the cables don't appear to be very long. I spent about $20 as well buying wire & connecters.

yeah i would say yes. you would most likely spend about $20 on cable and ends anyway. you dont have to use that *circle* they supply. but the only thing is that shipping on it was almost as much as the item.... now you are not talking $20 anymore, you are talking close to $40.... and that i would say is up to you. do you want to save about $20 and DIY, or would you rather pay $20 and have it "done for you" thats my $.02

I did mine with wire and end caps from Home Depot for right around $20. It works great.

The only thing I realy agree with is the noise from the stereo ground. The rest is a little bit of a stretch. Also this system is only as good as the main ground that you connect to that. Make sure the connection is to bare metal then treat it with a dielectric grease. It would be good to have though, so you can plug more electrical systems/components in later (like a distrubution block).
