This ensures a much better electrical connection than you could get just clamping down on bare copper strands. I wish they'd allow dealers to substitute a 16 ga on request (for a small fee, if necessary) when you buy a new tool. Similar to the way you can substitute a 'Holey' rail for the standard one.
