Nay, DIY item. I wouldnt trust a shop bought item myself, had some cold solder joints on battery charger leads so its better to do it your self, that way you get the exact length you need too. :)

10g, given the size of the plugs and wires on the MMM. Use good quality lead-free solder too, or silver solder.

Do it like this, there is no wires to resist.

Those plugs had through holes, where i put pure copper rod and then soldered.

I would use either electrical tape, or plasti-dip and brush it on.

Heres my effort, basically the same thing only with 5.5mm plugs:

12g is alot more common and perfectly fine, but given the size of the plugs its probably better to use wire the same size as such:
