I had hoped my son would like this set. I had no idea how much he would love it/use it. These poor tools get used and abused and they keep on going. Great quality. I love that they look so much like the real thing rather than super kiddie. I think that's probably why my son loves them. He feels like an adult using real tools.We actually bought them for 2 purposes. We wanted to decorate a cake for my grandfather's 75th birthday and he is a carpenter. They actually worked amazingly for that purpose. And there were more tools than we could even fit on the cake. We decided on these because we thought they would be a fun toy for our son after we were done using them as decorations for the cake. It worked out great.They are also the perfect mix of durable and safe. They don't seem light/cheap enough to break easily, but your child won't hurt themselves if they hammer their finger or something.
