Touring Ax-Man Surplus, The Coolest Store In The Galaxy!

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

I've raved about the wonders of Ax-Man Surplus on this channel before, and I've devoted several videos to weird random things I found there. By popular demand, here's a video tour of the store!

Ax-Man sells a little bit of everything, from industrial equipment to science gadgets to government surplus to random unidentifiable knick-knacks. You can find electronics, motors, gears, cloth, tape, toys, beakers, lights, crafts, radio parts, tools, art, luggage, media, clothes, housewares, hardware, and tons of other stuff. There's a wide array of regular categories as well as random rotating oddities and one-off items. The store has supplied my projects and enabled my hoarding habit for over a decade.

Ax-Man didn't technically sponsor this video, as I contacted them to ask if I could film there. However, they were very enthusiastic and helpful and even dug out some old historic photos and info about the building! They also had some ideas for future videos and projects on my channel, which should be showing up in the near future!
