That doesn't waste wire. Why would it?!?

Because my book suggested I clip and restrip a wire once it's been
"used".

What book are you using? Reason I ask is there is a Huge Recall of
wiring books published in the past ten or so years. You can find a list
he

951,000 Books!

Yes, I bought my book after that list came out ("Stanley's Complete
Wiring"). The only technical details from the book that I relied on
were concerning the "wire space" of an electrical box. The book covers
a lot of ground for a home-owner, but none deeply. For instance, the
concept of "running boards" wasn't touched on. It's more of a "repair"
or "add a light or ceiling fan" book. The last 3 pages or so are
dedicated to adding a subpanel.
