A battery cable puller is a small hand tool specifically designed to pull a stuck battery cable connector from an automotive battery terminal without damage to either the terminal, connector, or your hands. Although there are a few different styles and brands, they generally all work the same. There will be two thin "feet" that slip beneath the cable connector, and a screw device [looks much like that used in a "C"clamp] which when turned pushes down on the top of the battery terminal, thus pulling the terminal clamp upward off of the tapered terminal. Battery cable/terminal clamp pullers can be bought at most auto parts supply stores. Very occasionally, some auto supply stores [those that loan tools] will loan it to you.
