Redsy,
I have tried the counterclockwise twist after I saw your suggestion here.
Makes attaching new plugs and sockets when rewiring table & floor lamps much easier!!!!
Looks neater too.
*********************************************
Gunther, by your argument, then lampholders for table lamps and most regular household Nema 1-15 plugs and connectors must only be wired with solid wire.
The screws on these things sure don't have any pressure plates or "cups". And sometimes I think screws are too small to do the job properly....and in a lot of cases there is no space for crimp-on terminals. You have no choice but to wrap the wire directly around the terminal screw.
