We have neither!

There are a few mom and pop stores that are pretty good for stuff like pvc, kee klamps and plywood etc. Anything we can't get there we either get from a sponser (it's funny how something we need all the sudden gets 'broken' and 'thrown away', our coaches are just cool like that) or order off the net. I think we get 99% of our eletrical stuff that way.

Another reason why we don't use home depot: every time our coaches go in there they don't come back out for hours and never with less then $50 worth the stuff we didn't really need.

Radional, Rádio Center or Severo Roth for electrical parts and Ferramentas Gerais for everything else. Know any of these?
Seriously though, Ferramentas Gerais (General Tools) is like the biggest store ever. Actually, there are 4 huge warehouses, side by side. It's much bigger than Home Depot, Lowes and they carry way more itens than SPI. If you can't find something there, it probably does not exist.

We use The Home Depot and Orchard Supply Hardware...

Even though there are Lowe's commercials on TV sometimes, there isn't a single one (that I know of) around here.
