Perhaps I'm overanalyzing, but I don't see how this same rule could work for both aluminum and copper.

The holding power of the former is roughly the same during the "Ron test" before wiring and after wiring. Not so the copper, which hardens once bent.

Is the difference that negligible?

(An easy fix: different lengths extending beyond the fingertips for the two types of wire.)


Cheers,
Carl
