My 3 year old son loves Handy Manny and Bob the Builder. He is very much into tools and fixing things. Anyone have suggestions on childrens tools sets and tool benches.

Sears is having sales on BF on the First Craftsman sets for kids. Check out the ads on this site.

We gave our daughter (3 year old tom boy lol) The home depot tool bench. I will say she LOVES LOVES LOVES it. I HATE it :gdcensored: OMG it is sooo noisey with all those dang power tools lol

Thanks guys! I knew I would get good feedback here. I am going to look into both the craftsman and home depot sets. I know my son will love it he constantly runs around saying that "he can fix anything"

When Layne was 2 we got him a My first Craftsman set from Sears. He turns 4 this month and still loves it. Kmart carries the line now as well. Here is some of the stuff they have. http://www.kmart.com/catalog/thumbnail.jsp?Ne=410000000&pCategoryId=176&N=191+4294960627&Nty=1&categoryId=191 And here is the stuff they have as Sears http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/subcat.do?BV_SessionID=@<hidden>@<hidden>@<hidden>@<hidden>@<hidden>@<hidden>@<hidden>@<hidden>&BV_EngineID=ccliaddjfhmkgmjcefecemldffidfni.0&cat=Pretend+Play+%26+Dress+Up&subcat=My+First+Craftsman&vertical=TOYS&ihtoken=1

My 15 year old said that he wishes Sears had sold them when he was that age, he loved tools and he knew that dad and grandpa had Craftsman so that was what he always wanted.
So we vote for Craftsman!!

The little tikes work bench is awsome, sturdy, and easy to clean. All of the tools that it comes with are quiet. We have had ours for two years and my little one still plays with his.

We got my boys black and decker screw drivers at Toys R Us. They have different bits or whatever those things are that fit into it and you push a button and it makes noise. I think it lights up and rotates too. It looks just like one of those battery operated screwdrivers their daddy has. One of my two year olds (they'll be 3 in March)REALLY loves this kind of stuff and I think it will be a HUGE hit. It's ages 3 and up and best of all it was only $9.99.
