Suggested Uses

If the world of mini mechanics had a secret weapon, it would be these little birch axle pins. Perfectly sized at just under two inches in length, they fit right into wooden toy cars, wagons, or construction vehicles to keep those wheels spinning smoothly. Model builders love them for holding together moving parts in miniature machines or architectural details that call for precise, uniform pieces. Educators count on them for STEM kits that demonstrate physics and engineering concepts with tangible results. They’re also handy in dollhouse furniture, custom mini accessories, and as replacements when the axles in older toys wear out. For a unique application, use a set of them as miniature flagposts for tabletop gaming or small custom displays—they’ll keep your projects standing tall with a polished, professional look.
