Bruin Mini Work Bench

This toy is indeed quite loud. However, I would love a power switch even more than a volume switch. If this toy gets stuffed into a toy box after clean-up time, or even knocked over during playtime, it is prone to being pushed up against neighboring toys that will make the workbench go off. There is no auto-off either, so you have to dig it out to solve the problem. I'm surprised that the batteries have been going strong on our workbench for over a year now.

All complaints aside, my son (now about 2 1/2) does like this toy. He also likes to use the included hammer and screwdriver to "fix" his other toys.

My 7-month-old son loves, and I mean LOVES, this tool bench.It's very sturdy; he's constantly tipping it over, and obviously, given the fact that it comes with a hammer, it's meant to be whacked.He's also teething, and the various pieces have stood up to the abuse of his sharp little choppers.I like that the tools are quasi-realistic (I mean, as much as they can be for a kid's toy) -the circular saw really spins, the drill presses down when you pull the lever, and the sounds actually sound like real tools.

I'm docking a star because the sounds are VERY loud and there's no volume or on/off switch, though I remedied the volume issue by putting a bit of clear packing tape over the speaker.The other thing I don't like is that on our unit, it takes quite a bit of force to whack the "nails" so that they'll trigger the sounds -more than even my 2-year-old daughter could muster.

Overall, it's a solid toy.I'd recommend it.

My 20-month-old great nephew couldn't have happier.He played with this completely unassisted, but being closed supervised.Seemed to really love the sounds, colors, lights, and the getting to know the uses for these tools.He could actually use the wrench and screwdriver, and figured out how to turn the little screws to make them light up.

Would definitely purchase from this supplier again.Very prompt service and delivery.Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My 18 month old got this as a Christmas gift and she loves dancing to the music it plays when you pull down on the saw and drill.Overall the quality of the bench and tools is good so no complaints there.The issue we have with the toy, like so many toys built for kids, is the volume is set way too loud and there is no way to turn it down.So I took matters into my own hands I pulled all the screws out of the bottom and pulled it apart.The speaker is very easy to find and just takes two screws to take out.Once the speaker was out I just put some small pieces of tape over it and a few pieces over the holes in the bench where the sound comes out (I put the tape on the underside so it is not visible from the top of the bench).When it was all back together we had a work bench that the little one can enjoy and my wife and I no longer want to hit it with a real hammer.
