I'm working my way through converting most of my stuff to Anderson SB50 connectors to standardize everything. I have a pair of 1/2M SB50 to croc clip leads, plus the usual SB50 to cig-lighter Male/Female and pretty much everything you might need.
I have 14m of 6B&S left over with the intention of making an SB50 extension, but I'm stumped as to how long to make it. I figure if it's short enough it'll double as a jump lead with the croc clip adapters and I might be able to leave the big ones at home, but the longer I make it the more useful it could be.
So in lieu of asking for direct advice, this is more of a "what do you carry and why?".
I have a set of leads similar to yours from my truck days. Hard to be without.
My OKA has a demountable winch that fits in front and rear tow receivers. It is connected via Andersons. In the event pictured in my avatar i discovered this to be a stupid idea, as getting the winch out of its cupboard and mounting it, in that unbelievably slippery mud, was bloody difficult. The intention is to mount two, front and rear. But I'll leave the Anderson plugs for precisely the reason you describe. Such a simple idea.
