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

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.

Didn't your subpanel just short out?

Yes, You can read the complete story here.

To my surprise, it only took me 30 minutes to diagnose and fix it.
What is your point, that I should have bought a different book?

Maybe the instructions were flawed?

I'd say they were incomplete. You think I should sue for the anxiety they
caused me?


No.
