...to a working, motorized car! View larger. Build, Learn, Play
The Erector Set comes with a handy carrying case. Not only does it help your child organize the many small pieces of their set, it allows them to take the set with them on the go. The instructions are helpful and clear, showing in detail how to build the models, and stating clearly what pieces are needed before your child gets started. Please note, however, that there are no text directions, only illustrations. The plastic pieces can feel flimsy at times, but children testing the toy didn't seem to mind and played for hours.
A Classic Toy Lives On
Kids can build up to 25 different models using the illustrated instructions, or they branch out with their own creations. From planes to cranes to helicopters, there is so much that can be built with the 643 nuts, bolts, wheels, screws, and metal pieces that come with this set. A six-volt battery-powered motor makes the models come alive.
The sheer number of parts may seem overwhelming, but the compartmentalized case will help kids stay organized. Teenagers should have no problem building on their own, but younger kids might need some supervision and help, especially since the directions include no explanatory text -- just illustrations.

This erector set meets all of those objectives; I think it's the coolest gift I've ever gotten him. The quality of the set is very, very good. The steel pieces are relatively heavy, and the finished projects are VERY solid. I totally disagree with the few naysayers regarding the quality of this set; it is VERY well made.
The documentation for the projects is also very clear. My nephew and I built the dune buggy project together over the course of a couple of days, and the schematics laid out exactly what pieces you needed, where they went, and in what order to assemble them. There is no text, but you don't need any because of the clarity of the schematics. He played with his finished dune buggy and made his own modifications to it throughout his spring break this year.
If you're giving this as a gift to a younger child, you should consider that in some cases it really helps to have two sets of hands, but that of course is part of the fun . . building something together. There are a lot of pieces, some of them small, but the carrying case opens like a tool box and has plenty of little containers to hold the many different parts.
Final note: I'm 53, and I'm seriously thinking about buying one of these sets for myself! Great tool for bonding with your favorite kid(s).
Second, their is a problem with the motorized unit. The switch design on the battery pack is extremely poor. If the switch is not fully thrown to the left or right or fully in the center off, it will melt and be rendered useless. My son and I built the airplane model first(he's 6, took us a few hours together), and after 10 minutes of play the motor quit working(no, not 10 minutes of continuous running). Well, he hadn't quite thrown the switch fully, and after taking it apart the flaw was apparent. Its a proprietary double pole, double throw switch built on a PCB board. There isn't enough space between the board contacts. If the switch is in between positions, the contactor is shorting the positive and negative leads of the battery pack together on the board. This causes lots of heat, quickly heats the thin metal contactor, and in the process melts the switch handle. In my opinion it should recalled, I don't know if its possible to melt or rupture 4 AA batteries by shorting them, but they got really warm. I had to rig up a new submini DPDT switch as a replacement on the outside of the unit.
Otherwise....it's a great erector set. We built the crane after I fixed the battery pack. It's pretty awesome. It uses a 48:1 gear reduction(more like pulley reduction), on the motor and it can lift quite a bit of weight for a toy. Both the boom and the cable of the crane run off the motor, it's a pretty ingenious model I think. Crane also rotates on the base via a manually controlled wheel. Took him, with my help, most of a Saturday plus a couple hours of the following Sunday.
