House construction

The pieces are sturdy. They come apart and hold together where they are supposed to. The tape measure only allows measuring up to 24 inches, but it retracts well from being pulled all the way out. The drill drills “holes” in the piece of “wood”, and it works Forward and Backward to screw and un-screw the nuts and bolts. The handles come off the two screw drivers to allow the phillips and flat head to attach to the working drill, allowing another way to work the screws into and out of the “wood”. The hammer is solid but light, so it works well on the plastic nails but can’t hurt any more than any other toy if used against someone. 😉 The wrench and pliers have yet to see much use, but both seem like they will hold up to the use. The tool belt can’t tighten enough to stay on my daughter’s skinny waist, so it is sitting in the tool box waiting for another day. However, we fit all the pieces nicely onto it when trying it out the first day. The case itself is another sturdy piece. It holds all the pieces with extra room (we took the white plastic packaging out so all the pieces are tossed in there together).

This is a very inclusive set of tools for younger kids – boys or girls. I can see it being interesting up to at least age 5. Overall, a very good bet for a toddler/preschooler tool set.

My only complaints would be that the drill bit does come off easily, and after the 1st day the tape measurer broke (the tape might’ve been jerked out of its container though). The tool belt is made of a pliable plastic but I kind of expected it to be more pleather-ish. Also the black clasps on the case fell off but I dont know if it’s supposed to do that. Other then that, I think it’s a good buy and would recommend it.
