This is the reason I don't like wire nuts. It takes time to make a proper mechanical connection, twist the wire together tightly, and use the proper size wire nuts. To many times the short cut of laying the bare ends together and twisting wire nuts on is taken. This results in a high resistance connection which will allow heat to build up with a possible fire the result.
With solid wire butt splices can result in wire breakage from vibration. The best method is terminal strips but this adds to the cost.
