@punkynpye I’m seeing 3+ on the box, which is pretty typical for toys like this.
Most companies aren’t able to/don’t want to jump through the extra hoops needed to certify a toy to make sure it’s safe for infants and toddlers. But my kid was happily playing with her toy electric drill by 18 months so it’s always “at parental discretion”.
I made real tool sets when mine were about ten years old. And every year they would get something new at Christmas time or in their Easter tool bags. And some of them were made by Stanley…. Start them young and never let them loan out their good ones!
@el1c1a Yeah-- My 8yr old has a toolbox, ~16pc screwdriver set, rasp, saw, files, hammer, sandpaper, his grandparents and I buy him new stuff every year. As long as he stays away from disassembling things that plug into 120V we’re good.

I buy a lot of stuff from HF, but don’t yet have one of everything in the store, though working on it when they have sales, it seems.
I tend to be pretty choosy and read the product reviews closely. The great majority of what I’ve bought has been quite satisfactory for my needs.
Still working on distinguishing their various product lines. E.g., I much prefer Daytona to similar Pittsburgh tools. And reviews back that up. Have had no problems with the ICON line of manual tools.
Still wondering about Hercules vs Bauer, on power tools. Anyone with opinions on those, or any other particular brand lines they carry? I’ve got a few of the Hercules cordless, and have liked them. But they seem to be promoting the Bauer line more now.

Perfect to teach Junior how to drill his hand to the post!!
If I had little kids I’d get this in a second.
I’ve looked at the specs, but don’t see the ages for this. “Kid-friendly” seems kind of vague for exact ages.

Does is have the faux hand of missing fingers for endless fun?
@cfg83 What about when it’s time for Baby’s First Forklift?
@cfg83 @zhicks1987 Now, that’s a classic. (I have the DVD.)

@el1c1a Hope you got them licensed and bonded before letting them hire out.

Are these tools as good as the ones from Harbor Freight?
@phendrick The Harbor Freight tools are good. I have many of them to work on my 3d Printers when they don’t want to behave!
@phendrick No.
And a lot of the stuff at HF is much better than it used to be. (And some is still crap.)

For $20, you can just buy an actual Stanley toolkit!?
