On a recent trip to MN, stopped in here with a local friend who suggested I would enjoy. Lots of variety is an understatement. Prices are really good and the stock changes. I got paper items, fabric, bottles, tape just to name a few things. There are things for everyone-men, women and children. A fun place to browse. If you need something for an art project or just something odd, be sure to stop in.

What a fun store to shop! So much to look at. My daughter and I found a lot of stuff for crafts, projects and daily use items. We each got quite few different items, all for around $50 for each of us. Very satisfied.

I love the randomness of this place, you can get Halloween costumes, scrapbooking supplies, lots of containers, mailing items and lots of what I call man things, electronic devices and things I don't understand. As always, I love the signs that explain how to use things that are a little bit of a mystery. Always a bit cheeky. They were running a promotion where you spend over $25 you get a five dollar coupon to use in the next two months. Now I will have to go back!

What's not to love about Ax-Man? It's a haven for the city's creative weirdos, tinkerers, DIY-ers and makers. Simply walking up and down the aisles begins to fill your head with ideas for projects, repairs, and inventions. They also have tons of useful oddball items like cables, backpacks, pink zebra duct tape, etc. I can, and often do, spend an entire afternoon here sitting through all the random bins of (useful) junk.

Ax-man is a place to go if you have some time kill and money to burn! I usually go in thinking I'm looking for one thing and leave an hour later with 10 things I never knew I wanted. Besides the odd and unusual, they stock electronic components, springs, production overstocks and misruns and much more! Their stock changes all the time so it is worth while to stop back once and a while to see what they have on hand. Perhaps the best part of the experience are the displays. The staff are hilariously creative in coming up with ways to use the products. In fact the staff tend to be cooler and hipper than the rest of us and have the uncanny ability to pick an awesome shopping soundtrack. They add greatly to the Ax-Man experience. I highly recommend Ax-Man for the hobbiests, hipsters, and those looking for a great shopping experience!

This is my second-favorite of the Ax-Man locations, after the unbeatable original on University Ave. Certainly the age of the store (and attendant decorations & dust) make it a must-see in the Twin Cities. Well organized, with some entertaining signs. Don't miss the Bridge on the wall or the alligator (?) carousel pony.

I love that this place has so much great crap at such low prices! I mean seriously, where can I pick up those old time lanyard that double as a storage container for only 75 cents? I always wanted to start my own chem lab using the glassware there. Oh, the possibilities!

All the stuff you never realized you wanted or needed. Some of it is junk and some of it is pure awesome (let's be honest, it's all junk but some of it is super cool).It's a tinkerers paradise.
