would this be appropriate for a 12 year old?

I believe so. The tools are real. I gave it to a 5 year old who has to be supervised when he uses them but I imagine a 12 year old will find use for them.

Depends on the size of the 12 year old. If it's a boy with man sized hands, a full-size tool set might be better. However for every other 12 year old, I would say definitely yes!

Yes, The tools are not fake or "toy'' feeling. They are normal quality and are slightly scaled down in size for kids.

I think so. My children are younger, but the size of the tools is not necessarily for a young child or toddler. I'd imagine they'd be a good size for most 12 year olds. The hammer is 11 inches, the screwdriver 8 inches, wrench 6 inches, and pliers a little over 6 inches long.

My husband says, " yes it is really a good tool box". The zipper on the bag has already broken which makes the tools unsafe to keep in the bag. But the tools themselves are great and we have already build 2 projects with them. Hope this is helpful!

My daughter is 12 and absolutely loves it. I think it is good for up to pre-teens. Teenagers would enjoy it for a time, but would probably lose interest after awhile.

This would be too small for a 12 year old. More suitable for a 3 - 5 year old.

I have a 12 yr old son and I didn't allow him to take any of mine, even though he wanted to. My son has a lot of knife experience and I was nervous about him having this knife. In my opinion, no, this isn't the right choice for a 12 yr old.

I think it would be appropriate. My 10-year-old and his 12-year-old friend play with it.

My average height 10 year old barely fits in it... but he loves it. Unless you have short children I would say it won't work for the 12 year old.

It is remote control and would be fine for a 12 year old but there is a learning curve if they have never flown one before. If they are patient it's a great gift. Otherwise try an indoor only starter one (which is also loads of fun).

My 4 year old understood how to play with it, so it will definitely be appropriate for your 12 year old. These guys have done am amazing job making electronic components easy to use and a lot of fun.

of course the manufactured would kinow best; however, my grandchildren age 9 and 12 asked for same for Christmas 2013. Thne 12 year old is really into it and really enjoys it and understands the concept; but my 9 year old does not seem interested (has not yet begun to look at it). I would say it all depends on the child and their interests. Sorry, this is all I have to offer.

Like most I would say it depends on the 12 year old in question. Its a good tool when used responsibly but you as the parent are the only one who can determine that.

Yes it would be appropriate in my opinion. Our grandson will be 5 and we bought this for him last year and he still spends hours playing with it. It is a great buy and very well made.

The larger 750 kit definitely would be appropriate for a 12 yr old. I don't know what the recommeded ages say on the box, but I bought the 100 set 1st for a 5 1/2 and 7 yr old and quickly got the next size up 300 ! The 750 would make a great first present !

Yes, it is appropriate. I purchased the set for a 10 year old and she loved it

I think it would be fine for a 12 month old. The whole thing is actually very small and low to the ground. It has looked too small for my daughter since we've had it (since 22 months, we still use it and she's now almost 3) but it works great!

Yes, I believe it would be appropriate. My granddaughters are still enjoying it and it was a January birthday gift.

My 6 and 8 year old loved these...like the other respondent said, it depends on your 12 year old. I have a 12 year old niece whom is quite crafty and would enjoy this type of project.

I think it would be too heavy for a 12 year old. It is a challenge to reload as well.
