Lots of things to drill. Lots of side accessories. Even the box is part of the toy. Cute and good value. Crane and wrecking ball options for the toddler who wants both.

This is a cute truck that is also educational. Kids get to learn plus pretend. I like that the truck encourages motor skills, hand eye coordination, and imagination. Kids get to use the drill to put together the truck (or the parent can do it). The drill takes require batteries (need a small Phillips screwdriver to remove and replace the screw). The little people are adorable. You get two people and one cat. I love that the cat can sit in the cab of the truck. The crane does work (goes up and down plus the wrecking ball on the end moves). All the parts are well-made. I like that kids get to learn how to put different pieces together (learn logic skills). They need to figure out how to get the wheels on and fasten them for example. The box can be used as a playset. There are instructions. I found that pieces on the box did not want to stay in place and that was just opening/closing the box. I picked up this toy as a gift for a neighbor’s three year old son. He loves trucks and cars so I knew this toy would be a hit. It is a child friendly toy. Parents can have fun with their kids putting the truck together. The toy is a little pricey. It is a well-made, educational toy. Kids will have fun with this crane.

I got this for my 4 yo Grandson. He's received basic 'drill toys' in the past - e.g., put together one dinosaur - but this is good because the toy affords more play once complete.The pieces are nice and 'oomphy' - good for holding up to repeated play and good for little hands to manipulate. The two included workers are 'cute' and each head rotates for a different facial expression. You can also switch the helmets between the two workers.The set includes multiple pieces to drill in (or drill in/take out and repeat), Once assembled there's really unlimited play --- child can set up legos or lincoln logs or blocks or really any toys and then use the wrecking ball to knock everything over, or use the crane to lift and build, etc.The box that it arrives in is meant to be used as part of the play - basically folding the stiff cardboard to become the construction site.You will need an adult to insert the batteries into the drill and to assist with putting the stickers on the crane (well, a child can attach stickers but you've basically got one shot to put them on neatly, so take that into consideration). Also, probably best for an adult to fold the box to create the construction site.I would say that this is a fun toy up to about ages 6 or 7. I can see it getting a lot of use and would make a great gift.Happy with this product!

Grandson loves it but it did not hold up. Broke in a month’s time.
