Stranded Wire 101

If I am splicing with wirenuts, I always twist the wires whether they are solid or stranded. I have seen way too many of the popular wirenuts fall off of untwisted connections. I have found that the old style Ideal 73, 74 and 76 wirenuts seem to make the most durable connections. Yes, I know that everyone believes that what they use and that their methods are the best.
