The Home Depot and Lowe’s are two different hardware stores. Which one do you prefer?

2

I prefer The Home Depot, because they have a larger selection of electrical wire. I bought everything for my fire alarm system at Lowe’s, except for the grounding wire, which they did not have in smaller rolls. Once I went to The Home Depot, they had a large selection of electrical wire. Next time, I will choose The Home Depot.

I think both places sell individual THHN rated wire wire of all sizes from #14 to 2/0 by the foot, and #14 through #10 is available in several colors, and solid and stranded.

home depot all the way

My local Home Depot has 14 gauge solid THHN in a 100 foot spool, whereas Lowe’s only had it in 500 feet. The Home Depot also carries a lot more than Lowe’s. Lowe’s only had like three shelves of wire, whereas the Home Depot has an entire section full of shelves of wire. Lowe’s only has a few spools of wire to be custom cut, and I don’t think any of them were green, yet alone THHN or solid or 14 gauge.

The thing that annoys me about Lowe’s is that everything’s bilingual. Sure, there are immigrants from other countries, but the text is everywhere.

I’m not being racist, I’m stating the facts.

I frequent Home Depot more often, but that’s just because its closer to my house. I think that my local Lowe’s stores are nicer than the Home Depot stores, but overall, the prices, selection, and customer service are pretty much the same.

8

I have a Lowe’s closer to my house, which I go to more often, but I prefer the Home Depot. Does anyone else’s Home Depot have a better selection of wire?

9

We go to Lowe’s more often then not, so I’ll choose that.
