I've tried every tightening it extra tight and it just pops off sometimes. I'm wondering if there is something I can pinch in the connection that will give the cable more bite withought causing a drop in conductivity. I seem to recall seeing something you could put on like that but do any of you have a shadetree solution to my problem?

Thanks.

You had a few workable solutions. When I had that problem a light gauge solder wire wrapped around the post provided a solution - alternatively, your local auto parts store ought to have replacement cable clamps that allow one to cut off the old clamp, clean the wire and bolt on a new clamp.
