Would this be a good starter drill for my nine year old son?

Yeah it would probalby be good for a child, but its very weak. Its not good for the projects I do, which or not very major. I guess is would depend on what he is doing with it?

I don't think so. I could be dangerous for him. I would say the minimum age would be 15 years old.

I think that it absolutely would be perfect for that. Lightweight medium power.

I would definitely recommend this drill. It comes with the basic drill bits needed to accomplish normal home repairs and improvements.

I would think so. It is not what I would consider heavy duty but it is very good light to medium duty drill.and the battery is holding up well.

Yes, it would be great for crafts. Small battery, so the drill is not real heavy. We have had this drill for over a year and use it frequently for household jobs. Still works like the day we bought it.

I would say probably yes. If he's a beginner, and this is his first bow, then this one is definitely the best you'll find for the money. If he has experience with heavier bows, this will seem like a step backwards--but otherwise, it's an excellent starter. From experience, I can say it's more powerful than it looks. Just keep in mind it doesn't come with a bow stringer, which is needed to install and remove the string, so it won't be usable out of the box without one. Good luck!

I think it would be great for an 8 y.o. boy. These are definitely not toys. They are real tools. I (the mom) actually use them when I need a tool. They are very functional and a great size for kids.

I think it's a good beginers machine and should do what a 9 year needs to be doing

Absolutely. With a sharp drill bit this drill has more than enough torque to handle any job around the house. It's really not a matter of having enough torque with most drills, the difference is battery life and charging times with today's drills. For general use around the house by the average 'handyman', this drill is a great buy!

In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter. It is very well built, with all the extra's that you get with the bow set it is well worth the price. I bought this set for my 5 year old grandson, it is almost a little advanced for his age. I would say it would be perfect for your 9 year oldgirl. She would have lots of years of use before having to advance to a more complex bow. Matter of fact, I like using this bow myself. It ismost definitely not a toy. It's a powerful little bow. Bear makes a very high quality archery bow and equipment. I hope I didn't overly answer yourquestion.

Honestly it depends on his skill level. If he is always making cool things and has safely operated other powertools, then this would probably be alright with adult assistance and safety gear/precautions. Being a complicated machine, things can and will require repair, so I would not expect someone that age to fully maintain the machine. If he is into stuff like this though and has an older supervisor to help him operate/maintain it, it is never to early to get kids into engineering!

Yes...my son is almost ten and it is a good viable option. It is a strong board and yet rolls well. He will not outgrow it anytime soon.

I would think a nine year old would be too old and probably too big/tall for this. It really is for littler kids.

I would recommend getting the drill which comes with a battery ( maybe two ) and the charger. That way you have a nice drill/charger, and believe me he will be happy.

I think a 9 year old could do it. I bought it for a 6 year old - he and his Mom did it -- but he did much of it himself.Frank

I think that would depend on the experience of the 9 year old. The boys we bought it for are skate and snow boarders and they have built skills through playing with the spooner board. Both boys (now aged 4 and 6) showed significant improvements over the previous winter the first time they went snow boarding last year. If your 9 year old is new to board sports he or she would probably have fun with it and build skills.

I think it would be great for him. I got it primarily for my daughter who is 8 to take with her to her dad's house and to use as a learning tool for our home schooling.

I doubt it. The drill bits (Phillips head and straight head) are like jumbo crayons, and drill really isn't that strong. I gave this toy to my 3 year old grandson after reading that sometimes the drill didn't work. Sure enough, when he opened the box the drill would only go in reverse and nothing I could do would make it go forward. He still liked playing with it because of the sound it made. Once his father came home and looked at the drill, he was able to make the forward/reverse switch move enough to make the drill work in forward speed. But my grandson didn't see that fix happen, and I left town before my grandson had another chance to play with the toy. I doubt it.
