Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for securing a first welding lead to a second welding lead, the apparatus comprising:
a. a first hollow member defining a first hollow member space, the first hollow member further comprising:
i. a first end;
ii. a second end; and
iii. an outward facing first ridge along the first end of the first hollow member;

b. a second hollow member defining a second hollow member space, the second hollow member further comprising:
i. a first end;
ii. a second end; and
iii. a first screw thread along an outer surface of the second hollow member; and

c. a third hollow member defining a third hollow member space wherein the first end of the first hollow member and the second end of the second hollow member are held proximate to one another inside the third hollow member space, the third hollow member further comprising:
i. a first end;
ii. a second end;
iii. a second screw thread along an interior surface of the third hollow member wherein the second screw thread is engaged with the first screw thread of the second hollow member; and
iv. an inward facing second ridge along the first end of the third hollow member wherein the inward facing second ridge is adjacent to the outward facing first ridge of the first hollow member and blocks the outward facing first ridge from moving relative to the inward facing second ridge, thereby securing the first hollow member to the second hollow member,

wherein the first hollow member further comprises a first plurality of parallel lengthwise ridges along an inner surface of the first hollow member wherein the first plurality of ridges define a first plurality of parallel lengthwise channels along the inner surface of the first hollow member, wherein the first plurality of channels are configured to physically accommodate lengthwise ridges along a welding lead connector when the first hollow member is slid onto a welding lead connector.
