Thanks for all of the information, i was hoping i could find a place where i could pig-tail Down in size say on a 12-2 to 14, so i could stab all my receptacles instead of wrapping them. I guess it was too good to be true.
Ok, another situation: with copper prices as high as they are, using scrap pieces of wire is becoming more common. What if i wanted to use an 8-2 to supply say a laundry circuit instead of 12-2, now what am i suppose to do with #8 on a receptacle?
I have done this more than once to save on wire, there has to be a time when we can be able to "pigtail down" to accomodate situations like these.
