This is quite the fun little quirky place. It’s pretty easy to walk around and waste a good hour or more just exploring all of the crazy, off the wall things they have. Looking for a wine glass big enough to hold a whole bottle of wine? They have it. An aisle dedicated to different patterns of duct tape? They have that too… A pen shaped like a finger with a tip that farts when you pull it? But of course… Any odd little motor/circuit/electrical type thingamajig? Oh yeah, it’s there… Seriously, the possibilities are endless. Check it out!

I toured three of the Ax-Man stores in the area, and this one was the worst. It had the smallest selection(I didn’t see anything here that wasn’t at the other stores, and there was no real good military surplus). The goofy signs that the employees make and place on the racks were completely stupid in this store; vulgar and completely unhelpful(and not even funny). That being said, this is one store in a chain of very interesting electronics/industrial surplus stores, and is better than any Wal-Mart or Target.

I just love this store. It’s filled with tons and tons of gear you never knew you needed. Seriously, I could spend all day in there picking up stuff to building more junk than my heart’s content. A little out of the way, but well worth the drive.

Have you realized that you need more awesome junk in your life? Yes? Then you’ve probably been to Ax-Man before. No? Then you need to make an inaugural trip. Beakers, LED lights, cat calenders, switchcombs, girly metal posters, etc. This place has pretty much everything a nerd could ask for and more.

Ax-Man is a great store for anyone who likes to tinker around with stuff. I’m an artist, crafter and jewelry-maker, so I often visit Ax-Man to find random bits of stuff I want to use in my work. You never know what kind of interesting stuff they’ll have in stock, so it’s always an adventure. It’s kind of like digging through your crazy uncle’s attic and garage and finding all sorts of weird stuff he’s stashed away over the years. Car parts, electrical wiring, nuts and bolts, tiny bottles, pipe cleaners, pony beads, tiny light bulbs… you can find anything there.

At a first glance at the tiny shop with the Ax-Mans sign in the window, I was intrigued, just for the fact that I have never seen a store with the word Ax in it… I walked inside… LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT! This store is seriously a mechanical persons dream! Every little mechanical piece, from nuts and bolts, to rolls of wire, transistor radio parts, even down to spare motor pieces, Axman does it all. When i walked through there, it was like a kid at a candy store… except the candy is the little random thing you would think to find at the hardware store, only to go and leave disappointed in disbelief that the hardware store doesnt carry it. AND!!! AIRSOFTRIFLES! Every little dinky part you may need for any project, or even down to a random gag gift, Ax-Man has what you need!!!

Once again, thanks to Unilocal,I’ve discovered a funky new shop that I probably would never have ventured to if it hadn’t been for the fine community of Unilocalers here in MSP. Ax Man is the randomest of the random. Need a caster? Check. Inside of a golf ball? Come here. Scientific beakers? They’ve got em cheap. Wires, batteries, tubing, magnets, ski goggles(way retro), army back backs, a working crossing sign, and much much more. Next time I want to trinket around with some wacky invention I’ve got going on in my head, I’m coming here. If you’re in the mood for a good laugh, read their signs for the different products. They’re sure to brighten your day.

I hadn’t been to an Ax Man in years, and so when I drove by, I had to stop. I had forgotten all the weird and random crap they have! It was fun to look through all the interesting things they have.

Ax Man is like a thrift store for the quirky/nerdy types. That being said, I love this place. Prices are very reasonable considering it is stuff that you can’t find anywhere else. I’ve saved quite a bit of money by buying my cords etc… from Ax Man rather than Radio Whack. The advertising signs & displays alone are worth a visit.
