You used fingers? I use my pliers - and I much prefer having heavy wire
(and 20 amp breakers) run, having lived in a variety of places with
substandard wiring. I leave 14 gauge & 15 amps for lighting circuits
with limited draw. I dislike being left in the dark, so I keep lighting
and outlets separated always.

Not for forming the loops, but bending the wires and screwing on wire nuts is getting a
bit hard as my phalanges age.

Lighting and utility recepts on same circuit in same room seems rather stupid to me also.
