I wanted a couple of super magnets for a project that i was working on and they had them. They also had pretty much everything else that i needed for some home improvement (honey-do's).
I like lowe's because i never feel like i got ripped off when i walk out of there. Home Depot is for the hardcore home improvement dude. A guy like me that barely knows what he's doing can appreciate a place like Lowe's.
The staff is friendly and will stay with you until all of your annoying ridiculous questions are answered. There was a small issue a few month back in the gardening section. All of the directions were in spanish only, but they quickly corrected that. I have no issues with anything being in any other language, Im just saying more then one language would be nice.
