Lots of ways to make new things. Colorful and durable parts. Like the box to put the pieces back in.

Im a firm believer in toys should build things. Hand eye coordination, spacial skills, patients, motor skills, and actual things. Plains, houses, blobs, or what ever their awesome little brains come up with. This toy does do that. Now heres the buts. It has a limit, no expansion pack, the box holes are not even drilled to allow the box to become the base of something like a big car (nor is the spacing of the holes right for a pannell to be put across nor is bbn their enough parts to make the box a car with these faults), the threadings are super tight on some of the pieces, the screw driver is useless due to previous stated issue, and there should be more parts and not cardboard fillers where more parts could be put. All in all its all right but seems to be anther buy use and grow out of. Construction style toys should be a be able to grow with your child. End line is we got our dollars worth of fun.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this product thinking it would match up with the Melissa and Doug "My Toolbox" as the pieces look identical. It doesn't. The screws in one are a little thinner than the other, so the nuts slide off. Also a couple of the screw heads were not attached and I had to glue them. By itself it is a great set. Perfect for a 3 year old that like to build.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Preservative Pack brown colored underneath toys

First of all, screw driver was missing and then the preservative pack, I'm assuming it is called, was stained brown on top of it but underneath toys where toys were touching it?? Very concerned and very disappointed

A lot of fun that can't be expanded upon

I bought this for my two boys who love it. Problem is, it's very limited. This would have easily got a 5 Star from me, but there's no way to expand the collection. It's like if LEGO only made a kit where you could build one thing and then they just stopped there. It would be great if there was an expansion kit with, at least, more screws, bolts, and peg boards. As of now it seems my only option is to multiples of the same set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty much useless

This set just doesn't work. I am a mom who is ok with my kids getting frustrated or having to work at something to figure it out, but even I am fed up with this set. The pieces just don't fit together. The threadings don't match. Some are too tight, and some too loose. The heads keep breaking off the bolts beacuse we're turning them so hard to try to make them fit the too tight threads. And to be honest, there's just not that many interesting things a four year old can build with this set.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My grandson will love this. It could be improved by the addition of a lid to the box. Otherwise it is perfect for the young mechanically minded youngsters.
