Bought this tool set for my son after he showed some major interest in my tool set. We've had it for a couple of months now.
Here are the pros:
-Very sturdy build. I know they look kind of flimsy in the pictures, but in reality the recycled plastic toys are not going to break or wear out in my life time. The plastic actually gives a little when strained, which I like for little hands and the safety of my furniture.
-Realistic look and feel. The pliers, screw drivers, wrenches, nuts, and screws all work perfectly and interchangeably with each other. The hammer, nails and tool box work well for getting out toddler aggression and the tightness of the nails into the tool box is just perfect for our toddler to be challenged and successful.
-Nice price for what you get, and glad to be "green" while doing it.
-Toddler tested - he no longer sneaks into my toolbox to get his tool fix. He seems fully satisfied with his tools and it has consistently been the first to come out and the last to be put away.
-Each tool is labeled and my son has already learned their names and pretends to read the labels. Nice teaching "tool."
Cons:
-The small blue building pieces are a little boring - would have liked to see something more intriguing to put together with the screws and nails, but they are easy for my son to handle and he doesn't seem to mind their simplicity.
A Nifty Little Toolset from a Fantastic Company October 27, 2009

After reading Anatole and the Toyshop, my daughter became obsessed with being a "carpenter mouse" and found she just had to have a tool set. So, she sold her old boring toys and saved her allowance, and we went searching for the perfect one. We were both thrilled to find this one by Green Toys.
Green Toys, for those unfamiliar, is a California-based company who manufactures all of their toys from recycled milk cartons --- In the USA! This means that all their toys are made from stable, safe high-density polyethylene, and don't have (or need) any scary surface paints. As a mom, this makes me so happy I could dance!
The toy itself is pretty cool from a kid-perspective too. It comes with a couple screwdrivers, two nails, two screws, two blue doohickeys that can attach one piece to another, two nuts, a saw, pliers, wrench and a hammer. Lots o' stuff. If you think outside the box - literally - there's a whole world of things that need to be repaired, sawed into a thousand pieces, and whacked repeatedly with a hammer.
My daughter has used her screwdrivers to 'fix' her broken camera. In the role of "carpenter mouse" she has very diligently dismantled an old diaper box, and freed a whole family of mice. Sometimes she gets around to hammering a nail or two into the side of the carrying case, or has a few mishaps with the screws (they're tricky and haven't been mastered yet). But definitely, if you don't use your imagination, the inserting and removing of screws/nails could become tedious and dull very quickly.
Our only disapointment with this toy was that ours came with two Phillips screwdrivers and no flat! Our daughter was already way too attached to return the thing, so I thought 'what the heck', shot Green Toys an email with all our purchase info, and the little problem we had. They responded within 24 hours. Within a week, we had not only a shiny new flathead screwdriver, but a couple spare parts for our tool set. The customer service has totally sold me on Green Toys. What an awesome company!
So, bottom line. It's safe. If you use your imagination, or rather, prod the kids in the direction of using theirs, this is a great toy.
Ended up buying three ... November 3, 2009

Tools are perfect for the young craftspeople in your household. Most tools were individually labeled for early readers. EVERYTHING goes back into toolbox (included) for easy clean-up.
Sooo nice! December 23, 2009

We have bought several Green Toys for our grandchildren and can't wait to see them play with them. They are amazingly well constructed and will last a long time. No more cheap toys for us!
Awesome! January 17, 2010

This tool set is awesome, awesome, awesome! The tools are built super tough, they are the perfect size for little hands to grasp and play with, the colors are bright, the toolbox is the perfect size for a little one to tote around the house and yard, and they are fun, fun fun! (Can you tell that I love this product?) Seriously, both of my boys LOVE these tools (ages 4 and 2) and love the toolbox, and in fact, it has been the source of many little squabbles because they both want to play with it! Each tool also has its name written on it, so they can learn their names as well. The tools are used for all kinds of things around our house, and for some reason the kids love digging with the screwdrivers. Well, they have held up perfectly to rough outdoor play and I just clean them off and they're ready for the next adventure! I will say that the kids are not all that into the nuts and bolts, but I think they are mainly just a nice addition to go with the set. If you have a little one who likes tools, I highly recommend this set!
