Stines

Although , most of my tools are from Home Depot.
I have Ridgid miter and table saws and various selection of Ryobi stuff.

But, seriously I shop all 3. Stine is closest to my house , I have a HD literally behind my office and Lowes for certain Items and I just like Lowes.

Lowe's all day. It helps that I worked there before.

Lowe's if you need any kind of customer service. I like the Home Depot smell though.

Lowe's as it easier to access from our crappy road system

It does? I'd think it would hurt if anything.

Depends. If I'm building stuff, remodeling or looking to fix something up it's Home Depot. If I need lights, vanities, or things to make the house look nice it's Lowe's.

Depends what I'm looking for honestly. Power tools tends to be Lowe's, but gardening stuff tends to be Home Depot. Treated lumber is usually Home Depot, but if I need some smaller piece of finished wood for some indoor project I tend to look at Lowes first.

And as someone said, I will also run to Stines for various things occasionally.

Harry's Ace Hardware


But between those two it's Lowe's no doubt

HD might have the worse customer service of any major retail store. Lowe's is by no means great but better than HD.

Why? I liked it. I learned a lot working there and that helped my DIY abilities.

Their prices on most items are identical. I usually shop at Lowes because it's easy to get 10% off coupons or the $10 off $50 coupons.

Home Depot. Their shitter is far more commodious. I can let loose and get downright rowdy in there.

Home depot because their website will tell you exactly the aisle and section a product is located.

I will forever be a Home Depot guy after last winter. One of my pipes busted and I hauled arse straight to Lowes for a sharkbite fitting. They didn't have any so I hauled arse over to home Depot off Airline. I knew Home Depot was closing, but figured I may make it in time. Nope, I ran up to the door as the manager was walking back into the store from locking up. I knocked on the glass and he turned around and came to the door. I explained to him that my pipe busted and was leaking water, I went to Lowes and they didn't have any sharkbites and could he sell me one as I was in a jam? He said come on in. Walked me over to plumbing and grabbed the fitting. He says, well the registers are shutdown so you can just have it. I was like how about I give you $20 cash? He says nope, consider it a freebee, next time just come here instead of Lowes.

Home Depot is designed more for contractors and advanced diy'ers.

Lowes concept is designed more around women and people that don't really know what they're doing.

Lowes

Mainly because home depot sponsors college gameday. And gameday blows arse now.

Also, lowes is much closer to home.
