8 Best Tools for Kids of All Ages

Key Specs

• Age Range: 3+
• Material: Plastic

If you know a child who’s obsessed with power tools or construction in general, they’ll likely love this Black+Decker toy jackhammer. When the handle is squeezed, the chisel moves up and down and produces sound effects, creating a realistic jackhammering experience.

The item itself weighs just 1.15 pounds, so it shouldn’t take much effort for a small child to operate, and if it’s a hit with your youngster, Black+Decker also offers an entire line of toy power tools, including a leaf blower and weed trimmer. The three AAA batteries necessary to operate the toy are included with the item, which is always a nice perk.

With over 230 pieces included in the set and a unique mounting board to display the finished products on, this Haptime drill makes a great gift for a wide range of ages.

Not only does the set’s plastic drill actually work, but it can also be used to screw and remove the collection of 80 fasteners that come in this kit. By following the included pattern sheets, users can create colorful shapes and objects on the board, and the slow operating speed of the drill bit ensures that it’s safer than a real drill. It does require two AA batteries, though, and you’ll have to supply them yourself.
