This is how I wire virtually every receptacle and toggle switch. Single strand solid conductor has to be crimped more carefully than multi-stand wire but the contact area under the screw on the receptacle is vastly increased in area. The tightened screw is FAR and away less likely to loosen with heat or vibration.
