Are there special kits and procedures when the wires for a switch have broken
too often at the tips? I fixe dtwo switched two years ago like that and
although the need isn't urgent, I could seeit arising in a few months.

Why are the wires breaking? There should be no mechanical stresses transfered
to the wires from the user's operation of the switch.

Good question. Is someone bending them back and forth until they break.
How old is the house? I've never had one break.

Maybe nicks in the wire when stripper is used improperly.
