tinned leads are wagos best friend, can't pull out or poorly crimp a solidified mass of soldered strands

    You shouldn't directly clamp soldered stranded wires. They will eventually loosen up because the solder doesn't hold its form under compression, then get warm, and then the problem worsens until you potentially get a fire at your terminals.

    My 35 year old Pace soldering course would have bored you to death about tinning wires.

    I left that course and had a senior electrical engineer step into the conversation regarding the dangers of solder creep.
