The only places I've ever had solid core wire break was on the 3pdt breakout board or the wires soldered into the PCB from the breakout board.

I don't always box every circuit I build and always test them outside of the box before I decide if I like it enough to totally complete it. I'm sure stepping on the foot switch repeatedly is 100© the cause for the wires breaking. Always a super simple fix though, so never an issue for me.

That's where the tayda solid core kept failing for me.

That's where the tayda solid core kept failing for me.

I've been using Tayda solid core occasionally for hooking the pcb to switch. No failures yet.

To those who have, are you unboxing and reboxing? For most builds, there's no movement so breakage seems really unlikely. I could see the risk only if I had to pull everything out.

I'm very picky on what I purchase from Tayda these days.
