Does anyone have a sure fire method for wirenutting/pigtailing stranded
and
solid wire together? Seems like when I do it half the time the stranded
will pull out when light force is applied to the wire. Does it help to
cut
the solid wire a bit shorter than the stranded wire so that the stranded
wire can wrap around the end of the solid wire and not push out when
screwed
onto the wire nut?


I always twist the wires together using pliers before I screw on the
wirenut.
