I noticed on the Scru-it ad that on the joint they were demostrating the wires were twisted together way beyond the wire nut. The first journeyman I worked for didn't twist wires, but when he saw that I had started doing it he made it clear that the correct way to twist wires was not to allow the twisting to go beyond the joint itself. I have opened j boxes that had the wires all twisted up under a joint and beyond, taking all of the conductor up. The only problem I had with it was untwisting a wire that I was removing from the joint. Do you have an opinion on twisting the wires together beyond the joint? Any reasoning why you shouldn't? Perhaps it creates magnetism thru a being a coil or something?
