Swap screen time for real building action with a battery-powered drill that actually spins and a pegboard he can build on. This set includes a drill, a hammer that taps real bolts into the board, and up to 152 pieces to assemble hearts, robots, sailboats, or anything he imagines, all without apps or charging cables. The sounds come with the experience: bang, buzz, crack, and a kid who won’t walk away.
The drill truly spins when you drop in two AA batteries and pull the trigger, and it arrives with two replaceable bits plus a built-in buzz to mimic real tool action.
Piece options range from 92 to 152 parts, including pegboards, gears, screws, bolts, plates, triangles, and sticker sheets—enough open-ended pieces to build a heart, a robot, a Christmas tree, or a sailboat again and again.
Designed for little hands, with rounded edges and child-safe plastic, it meets safety standards ASTM and CPSIA. Everything stores in a single carry case, turning cleanup into one simple step rather than a scramble for a missing bolt.
Where other plastic tool sets fall short, this system centers the pegboard as the core of play—the screws, gears, and plates fit into real holes, the drill bit catches actual screw heads, and the wrench adjusts. It’s hands-on building, not pretend play.
Two kit variants exist: a 92-piece Workbench and a 152-piece ProBuilder Case. Both include the working drill; the ProBuilder adds more pieces and packs into a heavy-duty carry case. Color options are blue or pink; contents are the same aside from the color accents.
