navykidd02 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 So I purchased 1000 ft of SPT1 wire from CDI. WELL I used it all, I like the idea of making my own extension cords. All i can find right now is clear SPT1 wire at Lowes. Do you think that would be a problem with making cables? If not i will just purchase a ton of extension cords.

Frybread Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 If you found that at Lowes, they should also have bulk SPT-1 in brown in the big cage.At my local it is $0.29 a foot.If you have a Menards they normally have 250 spools in stock.Good luck.

kcny Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yes, both my local Lowes and Home Depot carry both SPT-1 and SPT-2 in 250' rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbzeus Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 You might want to watch sales. In past years I've purchased cords on sale at Menards for about the same as the materials to make my own SPT cords. The cords I have purchased are not the cheapie SPT indoor cords but mostly 20' & some 40' three wire grounded with molded ends.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navykidd02 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks Guys, I live in San Diego so no Menards. I found a deal around town for buy 1 get 1 free cords but id rather make custom lengths. Its alot better for me. They have white SPT2 cord too but id rather do clear. Right now they are out of brown so it looks like im gonna go with clear or white to finish my two spiral trees. UGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
