"I bought this for my one-year-old grandson, and he absolutely loves working with daddy. The tools are strong, durable, and as cute as can be. I know he's going to be so excited!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this toy. I expected cheap tools, but my son enjoyed it immensely! The reflective vest is a nice touch, and the automatic drill actually works to drill bolts into the wooden board. Very good purchase!"

"My 2-year-old really liked the set, but unfortunately, the drill machine broke after just 30 minutes of play. I'm not sure if it was broken already or if it broke from his playing. I would suggest being cautious with the plastic quality."

"I think this is a great little toolbox for kids. It fits perfectly in their little hands and features realistic tools. It's such a great value and quality. My three-year-old can play safely with it!"

"I bought this for my son, who is 3, and he absolutely loves to 'fix' things around the house like his dad. While the measurements on the tape measure wore off quickly and eventually broke, we simply replaced it with one from the Dollar Tree. There's enough space in the toolbox to add other pieces if desired, which we did!"

"I purchased this for my son’s birthday, and he is really enjoying it! The pieces are sturdy, and I would definitely recommend buying this set!"

“My 2-year-old is absolutely obsessed with this set! His favorite is the power tool, but he enjoys pretending to work with all the tools. The backpack it comes in is also a hit. The quality is great overall. He received it for Christmas, and he hasn't stopped playing with it since! He did manage to break the adjustable wrench and crack the power tool, but it still works, so I wasn’t too concerned. Everything else has held up very well.”

“I got this for my grandson for Christmas because he loves playing with tools. I knew he would adore this set, and the adorable backpack just adds to its charm!”

“This gift was a huge success! My child carries it around with so much love and contentment. It’s a fantastic way for little ones to pretend they are doing what adults do every day. He won't leave the backpack behind!”

The durability is impressive; these tools have withstood plenty of enthusiastic play without breaking. I also appreciate the educational value this set provides, teaching my child about different tools and encouraging hands-on play. It's great for developing fine motor skills too. For the value, you really can't beat it!"

"My granddaughter absolutely loves this tool set! She plays with it for hours and enjoys helping her papaw with projects. It's the perfect gift for her, and I couldn't be happier!"

"My 3-year-old grandson is so impressed with his sturdy tool set. He puts on his apron, pretends to be like grandpa, and neatly stores everything in the toolbox after playing. The quality is exceptional, and I know he will take good care of them. Seeing his eyes light up and jaw drop was priceless!"

“My 2-year-old grandson loves building with this toy. It's a perfect fit for him!”

“I was looking for a well-made toy that wasn’t a choking hazard, and this was exactly what I needed!”

“This toy kept my 18-month-old grandson engaged for a long time. I rated it 4 out of 5 because it could be a little wider.”

"This is such a great toy for kids, especially for my son. I noticed he always wants to play with my real tools, so I got him this set! It's easy to use and he learned quickly. The strong plastic seems like it will last, and the size is perfect for kids. I plan to build a collection of play tool toys for him this year."

"My son loves this toy! It's portable and actually holds his attention for longer than five minutes. I even enjoy playing with it!"

"I got this set for my grandsons, who are 2 and 3 years old. It's a perfect set for their age group!"

"I appreciate how the drill rotates like a real one, making my child feel like she’s genuinely fixing things. However, I do find some of the screws to be a bit small, which makes me cautious about letting her play with those. Overall, it’s an awesome toy!"

“I recently bought the Melissa & Doug Toolbox for my child, and it has quickly become a favorite in our home. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the sturdy wooden construction and attention to detail show the brand's commitment to quality. The realistic design adds excitement for kids who love to mimic real-world scenarios. The variety of tools included is impressive, sparking creativity and imaginative play. Most importantly, it's educational; my child is developing essential fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities while having fun. I highly recommend this toy for parents looking for an engaging and educational option!”

“I got this for my 2 1/2-year-old as an Easter gift since he is interested in construction tools. I wanted something chunky for his developing fine motor skills but also realistic enough for him to use as he grows. This toolbox is perfect! The screws and bolts are fully usable, and all pieces feel durable. My only minor issue is that the nails are a bit larger than the screws, but that might encourage him to learn to use the hammer. Regardless, my little guy loves it!”

“My grandson is really enjoying this toolbox, especially the hammer! I've had to hide it to protect our kitchen doors! He plays with the hammer under supervision, and I can see this toy being valuable for years as he learns to use the tools. Although a little pricey, it's worth it for the quality. The colors are vibrant and attractive, and they don't fade. I would definitely recommend this toy!”

"My 2-year-old grandson absolutely adores this pretend tool set I got him for his birthday. The quality materials and realistic tools make it so much fun. Watching him play and believe he’s working is just adorable!"

"While the saws are decent, I found the sander to be a bit flimsy. The battery-operated tools work well, but overall, it’s a mixed bag."

"I was really let down by this set. It looked great in the advertisement, but in person, it felt cheap and basic plastic. My toddler enjoyed it for a little while, but it started breaking after light use."

“I really like this toy for my boys. The plastic is a bit flimsy, but for the price, it’s expected. It has a lot of tools and screws, though I think I'll hold off on the screws for now since my kids are only two. I know they’re going to enjoy this.”

“We got this for our nephew who visits regularly. He enjoys the tools, but it’s definitely a kids' toy. It has served us well for a year, but it’s quite flimsy overall. The drill is his favorite part, and I’m glad he enjoys using it.”

“I was disappointed with the sturdiness of this tool bench on Christmas morning. The tools are cute, but it’s so small and not very stable for a young toddler like my grandson. I’m already considering a replacement.”
