Awl --
Apropos of the recent thread on wire nutting stranded with solid, are there any inherent advantages of one over the other? #14-#10.
Stranded is more flexible, an advantage if you have to pull long runs in bends in EMT, but I find it a pain when connecting outlets, etc.
Stranded can be dicey-er with nicks, missing strands. But, stranded might give more contact area under screws, in breakers, etc.
At HD, stranded is $5 more on 500 ft coil of 14 and 12: $25 to $30, and $40 to $45.
BX/romex comes which way? Both?
Who uses what and when?
