Glad I found out about this place today. I went in here for a resistor and left with enough to finish 3 projects. Couldnt be happier. Easy to find stuff in the store although I could probably spend 3 hours in here just looking through all the cool stuff. If youre looking for board level components or guitar cords, split loom, fuses etc. They have it.

Great selection of random parts, very helpful staff. Good location too. But it is Orange County so dont expect any of the employees to be wearing masks, despite the massive risks & current laws designed to prevent what is a highly preventable virus from spreading.

These guys will completely leave you alone while you are in the shop. Some people dont like that, but its nice to not have an employee pinging you with finding everything alright? On the other hand, if you step up to the counter they drop what they are doing to answer questions and help out.

The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I came in looking a special high current fuse that I did not want to wait for delivery and the technician behind the counter looked at the fuse description from my phone and immediately presented it. I got some special lab tools while there, like a kid in a candy shop when I visit.

This is an amazing store for DIY small electrics projects. They have a great selection of tools, led lights, switches, relays, wire, and battery chargers. The people are pleasant and helpful, and they keep updating their products. For example, they have added multiple led kites in recent years.

Theyre alright. Tons of tools, any wire size you might need, lots of components. Theyve reorganized the store space and seem to be trying to fill a niche for low voltage contractors and electrical shops.

Drove to Costa Mesa for Ni-chrome wire. very poor customer service I do not recommend Marvac. Discover Orvac! YES, ORVAC in Fullerton 1000% better selection and customer service. Now I know Why Orvac did not Stock Ni-chrome because its inferior to Kanthal. No one at Marvac mentioned that. Anyways you can do better else where.
