We bought this toy for our grandson's 3rd birthday. The drill doesn't hold the screwdriver heads - they just fall out. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a faulty set. We don't have this problem. Sorry, call the company?

Sounds like a design flaw. The square end of the drill bits should fit snugly inside the drill.

I bought a cheap set of screwdrivers which have the special head, and a "spluge"?! for prying it off. My son is the whiz in the family, and had no problems doing the replacement (other than he preferred a different color than I bought).

It sounds defective to me! We have had no problems with ours and have to rough young (2 and 5 years) boys that play with it!

The drive shaft is probably slipping. Hard to fix, but somewhere inside the vertical metal rod is not connected properly to its gear. Keep in mind, these things are great fun, but have an average life span of two weeks in my experience. Can't hurt to take it apart and see what's inside anyway!

The drill makes it easier as some of the predrilled holes aren't drilled well. But if you use the screwdriver to make the holes open more before hand toy shouldn't have a problem.

Yes and pretty good cardboard box. But needs to go in just right to fully close, my 3.5yr old can figure out how to put it away nicely but not my 2yr old :-) mainly the drill is tricky to fit in just right.We LoVE this toy! Totally worth it.

I bought this for my son when he was 1 an now he is 3, he still enjoys it but now he pulls the toy to his dirt pile, doesn't really pedal with it anymore. If I was hunting for a CAT digger, I might try something else. The older kids (ages 4-9) in our neighborhood really like just the backhoe with the seat on the back....I hope that helps

I think a 3 year old would be too old for this toy. I gave it to my 9 month old nephew and he loved it. Now that he is 18 months old and walking, he hardly plays with it, too many things to get into and explore I guess. He might go back to playing with it. I would not give this to a 3 year old.

Sorry to say but......I bought two and they 'both' broke. I did not call Amazon or the company. I should have. I just posted that it is a toy that doesn't last too long. My grandson 'loved' the tractor which is why I bought a second one. The same problem. It just stops working. Let me know if you get any help from either Amazon or the toy maker.

I am sorry I am unable to help because this was a present for my grandson in the States & I didn't actually see the box, it was delivered direct. But what I can say is that my grandson who is nearly three absolutely loves the Power Tool Workshop. He is constantly being challenged by all the different aspects to it. There are really clever things to do and work out. Perhaps the favourite is the drill which comes with sounds effects. I have only seen him using it on skype from the UK., but it is fantastic.

I am not sure about that but it worth a try. I know that my grandson loves the toy. I have been very happy with everything that I have bought on Amazon. I hope you find the answer.

Good question! Maybe you could pry the ball open at the seam with a knife, replace the 2 little batteries and super glue it back together. I'll try that with one of the "dead" balls that I have and let you know if it worked!

I haven't had this problem but can imagine two solutions: - check the batteries if not already done so - open the toy and check the speaker connection, re-solder if the wire has come loose (use an electrician if need be).

It has three positions: forward, off, and backward. The toy comes with coordinating drill bits. Your child will choose the matching bit for the screw he (or she) is working with. I bought two of these items (a plane and a truck). The drill that came with the airplane stopped working if he pressed it too hard. The drill that came with the truck works even if he presses it into the screw with all his might. I guess the first drill was broken.

I have the same question. There are no screws on the underside of the toy. So the answer given by Kathy b is unhelpful. This toy is annoyingly loud and changing the batteries in the toy is next to impossible.

I have not played with mine yet, but it is designed to attach to a drill. Hope that helps.

This is a fantastic toy and it DOES TIP. The best thing about it, though, is the battery-powered drill which works. It allows the child to unscrew many parts of the truck, taking it completely apart, and then screw them all back on again.
