This workshop comes with everything you see here.

My eight year old received this set as a gift for the holidays, and he adores it. He had no trouble setting up the combination tool to get it running, thanks to the included power supply. It also comes complete with safety goggles. The blade itself only vibrates, but doesn’t cut, making it safe even for young users. He played with it for hours, returning multiple times to try new techniques.

The spinning action lets kids carve their own designs into wood.

The tool does create a fair amount of sawdust, so be prepared. We used a mat underneath to help with clean up, though outdoor use would solve that issue, too. It makes some noise when running, though not as much as many musical toys for toddlers. A simple on/off switch controls the action, making it very intuitive to use. The box comes with everything kids need to get started with this advanced woodworking tool.
