Real Power Workshop Reviews
| 21 of 21 people found the following review helpful  excellent - with the right power source!, By = Durability:  = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: Real Power Workshop (Toy) Excellent learning. It would be great to have a larger version for cutting wood larger than balsa wood.I thought at first that it wasn't any good- but then I perservered,found a decent power source - either high powered batteries, or multi-adapter power socket, or what i use, the power gorilla (that charges up either from the plug, or for freer electricity via the solar gorilla) With the correct power source, it cuts well, drills well, all rounder. There are projects to build a fish wood cut out ornament (very easy), a plane (fairly easy), a garage (a bit more challenging but exciting). It has a small jigsaw (the least safe of the items as least protected when cutting, but done with supervision especially, it's fine. (plus from age 11 they use bigger ones in school anyway- well i did anyway).

It saws, drills and sands a nice introduction to woodwork. My 8 year old loves it and my 12 year old is also getting a kit so that he can have a go too. Makes a Great break from computer games. Really good for cognitive skills and creativity. Lets hope they keep it up. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful Small Scale But Enjoyable., By = Durability:  = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: Real Power Workshop (Toy) I bought this in the hope that I could prise my children away from there computer games and do something more rewarding.It's still early days but they are loving it, so much so that there have been arguments who is going to use it. My little girl is also wanting to get involved, she asked if she could make some items for a dolls house. It definitely needs adult supervision until they have learnt the basics. Only down side really is that there is no mains adaptor in the kit and I think most people would gladly pay a few pounds more to have one included these days. |
