Hmm, I've never run into this problem. What kind of pliers are you using? Do you have the small size needle nose ones?
Yes, I use small needle nose. Maybe when I'm wrapping it around input jack lugs maybe im twisting it too quickly ? Dunno. I love how solid wire makes everything look neater, it just sometimes will break off on me. The couple flying leads that broke off really should of, I was really gentle slipping the board into the chassis, and I moved the wires back and forth as minimally as possible attaching them to the components. Only thing I can think of is when I bent the right angle at the end before I soldered it, maybe I bent it too quickly or weakened it. I did make sure all resistors/caps were crimped into place and the flying leads crimped and in place and did a single solder step per eyelet. Perhaps I was too rough with the wire.
