    house wiring usually uses solid wire.
    auto wiring usually uses stranded wire.
    both are available in these stores.
    explain your intended use to the store, po, so's they can guide you.

    there are many designs for terminal connectors. bring the partner (yung kukunektahan) or its picture, so's the store can give you the matching design.
    also, you might want to choose the color, so's you can color-code them, po.

    It's not safe to use household wiring on vehicles.

    Automotive loads have higher current draws than household appliances (hint: ohm's law)

    Isa pa, rated up to 105 deg C ang auto wire....70-95 usually ang household wiring.

    Usually stranded ang auto wires. Wala pko nkita na solid....household wires either solid or stranded.

    Fyi

    solid wires do not want to be moved regularly. they break eventually, because of metal fatigue.
    that is why, auto wires are stranded. they are more flexible than the solid equivalent.
