I finally had to pick between stranded and solid for a big job and almost wrecked the whole panel

Went with stranded on a 200 amp panel swap in a warehouse near Austin last week because I thought it'd be easier to pull, but the terminals kept loosening up on me after I'd already torqued them down and I ended up having to redo 12 connections - has anyone else dealt with stranded wire pulling loose on lug-style breakers?

Twelve connections loosening up on a panel swap sounds like an absolute nightmare.

Sounds like a fun way to spend a whole Saturday.
