Mini Materials 1:12 Scale Miniature Pallet Jack
A 1:12 Scale Miniature Pallet Jack? What's this Honey, I Shrunk the Construction Equipment madness? It's another nifty desktop curiosity from Mini Materials, and there's a method to the little pallet jack's madness: it hauls the Mini Materials 24-piece Mini Cinder Block Pallet. Or maybe the Red Bricks, or the Breeze Blocks, you bought from them last year.
The diecast, limited edition Miniature Pallet Jack slides into Mini Materials pallet hand jack openings to roll your stacked masonry across your favorite tinkering surface. Like the coffee table during commercial breaks. Or your desk during long, miserable phone conferences at work.
Those looking for a charming and low-tech gift this holiday season can click here to check out the 1:12 Scale Miniature Pallet Jack, as well as the rest of the handmade mini construction material offerings in the Mini Materials store.
