[QUOTE="batty, post: 74373, member: 66"] Twisting cables was done when solid cores came in as this was the way it was done with the stranded cables. But as others have said it is not a good idea as it weekens the cable and can break it off. If you tighten the screws tight you should have no problem. If you are using 4mm there is plenty of cable for the screw to grip too so there is no need to twist either. Batty [/QUOTE]
