Wire nuts in DC? was (Re: Fried Combinor Box) [RE-wrenches]

It was #6 stranded THHN copper.I have also fixed nuisance breaker tripping
due to loose connections with copper and Aluminum. I find using exactly the
right size screw driver with a fresh tip helps get those needed inch-
pounds of torque. I give my kids my old Kleins to play with.
