I bought the K'nex gears for my 8 year old for Christmas. He has had so much fun with it! It comes with instructions to make 7 different machines. He has even tried to come up with his own inventions.

I bought this for my 8 year old son. At first he needed a little help learning how all the pieces connected (10 min) after that...he would spend hours in his room building all of the different objects (record player, egg beater, car window, ect.) Within the first week I think he had spent over 20 hours in his room working on it. It has now been 2 months and he continues to spend hours building different things with it. Each one takes him 1-2 hours and it is so cool to seem them work. He is so proud and it is a good self esteem builder. He loves it...with his allowance he has bought more k'nex. I don't think any of the pieces have broke and they seem very strong. I am very happy that I decided to buy this toy.

K'Nex Gears was bought for my six-year-old grandson for Christmas. He enjoys building cars with it and, five months later, is still enjoying playing. Some of the machines are still too sophisticated for him to build, but he's careful to put all the parts away in the box each time he gets it out. This toy will last and keep his interest for several more years: I plan to add additional sets to this one.

Great toy, if all the parts are in the box.............
The item arrived without all of its parts. Pretty big bummer on Christmas. Otherwise, this is a great educational toy.
