Kids Tool Kits – The ST8, 10 piece is a pretty good set.

At last, a good tool kit from Lowe’s.

Kids' Tool Kits - The ST8, 10 pc kit from Lowes is pretty good

Lowe’s confused my original order and shipped me two of the same set instead of one of each.  They were good about the process and the one I wanted arrived yesterday.  They were so good about it that another one arrived today.

This is the ST8, 10 piece tool set and it is a pretty good, little tool set for kids.  The tools are all real, usable tools. I’m not real sure about the tools they selected but it is pretty good

There is a real hammer with a nonslip grip, which I like. It has two magnetic screwdrivers, a real would rasp, a coping saw a regualr saw and two of the “C” clamps that I really like. It also has a tool belt and a tape measure.  I cannot comment on the tool belt and the tape measure because I didn’t open the package.  Lowe’s tool belts have been pretty good.  I didn’t want open the package because this is a pretty good tool set and I think I’ll give it to toys for tots or somebody similar.

This is a toolset that I can recommend as a real gift.  Based on the quality of the tools they may be using some of these for decades.

Again, the only reservation I have is in the selection of the tools. If you had a knowledgeable adult actively involved in explaining tool use to the child I think it would really help.
