(More customer reviews)The idea of this toy is awesome, the finished product is garbage.
I have two kids (5 and 8) who were very excited to see this toy on Christmas morning. Like I said, the idea is great: the work-top is the carrying case, they get to use a drill to copy the patterns that came with it, or they can make their own designs, lots of little pieces and three different drill bits (each drill bit works with all the screws).
The toy turns to garbage when you try to copy the patterns they provided with the instruction manual. The very first pattern is designed with more pink bolts than actually provided with the toy so it's impossible to duplicate. Both of the kits had this issue. Then, one of the drills would barely power-up. When my husband opened up the battery compartment, he noticed the soldering was crumbling and it was hot enough to actually burn him.
**Update**
Immediately after I posted this review, I received a message from the Educational Insights Operations Manager. She was very concerned about our experience with the product and genuinely seemed to care, handling my scathing review with grace. She sent us a new (upgraded) drill kit and a gift certificate quicker than I thought possible. The new kit is perfect with a working drill and more than enough screws for the patterns. I am impressed beyond belief.
