Um... What are you using pliers for? Might want to check the
instructions on the box of wire nuts...
In this case f*k the instructions.
Remove more insulation than required. Twist them together clockwise with
linemans pliers. Cut off to proper length with the linemans pliers. All are
proper and same length. Wirenut. Now you have a connection. Not
instructions from the marketing department.
Only my unprofessional opinion but when you remove a wirenut from the above
connection method, wires should not fall apart. This only meaning the
completed connection was safe and reliable. Not that if a wire nut were to
fall off the twisting was a backup.
