I need a good source for short lengths of 14 gauge stranded wire in various colors. Do any of the big auto parts stores even bother with this. I'm not interested in 50'-100' spools. There is always the internet I suppose.

 

Don't waste your time with the auto parts stores on electrical. Home Depot or Lowes in their electrical section. You can buy it in a spool or by-the-foot. If you're in a pinch, Ace hardware. Ace is expensive.

You can do online too but sometimes you get really brittle wire which is not good for automotive.

 

That's awesome. That is what I want; by the ft. And I certainly am not interested in brittle wire. That's all I need. Thank you for your input !

 

I checked my local Lowes. It might be because the small market area but they had only the "basic" colors an electrician might be interested in; on 20' spools. I will keep looking. I thought maybe even a auto salvage yard but do I really know what I'm getting then?

 

Any local electrical warehouse that usually sells to people in the business will be able to hook you up. Any color you want.

 

Another great idea!! Thank you.
