Review: Awesome it's much better than lite brite - I got this on desertcart prime day for twenty dollars and my kids like it a lot, their father is a mechanic so they love to pretend they are one too. They love to use the drill to pretend they are working on cars or building houses. We have had it for around a month and so far the screwdriver has not broken like other reviewers said. I wish it came with an extra screwdriver or there was an option to buy an extra one because it's big enough for my three and four year old to play with together. It came with a booklet filled with nice detailed pictures of designs that can be made I accidently lost it. After I called the company they put the instruction booklet on their website and they emailed me a copy of it. They were very helpful. My kids also love putting the screws in and unscrewing it with just their fingers. Sometimes the screwdriver is unable to unscrew if the nails are too tight. The sound feature is really nice my kids love playing different music to see how the box lights up. They love to take it outside when they go camping it looks pretty at night. They call it their fairy laser light show toy. Their favorite design to make is a butterfly that looks like a fairy. The screws are not really small like the lite bright pieces so they don't get lost that easily. This seems like a sturdy toy but we don't have carpet and if they drop it it might break so I have not let them play unsupervised with it yet. The toy is a great way to teach kids about reverse action because Depending on how you turn the screw driver the nails either go in or come out. So far my kids are happy I'll update if anything changes.
Review: A Fantastic Addition to Our Design & Drill Collection! - As an Educational Insights Insider, we received this toy for review in our State-of-the-Art Toy Testing Facility here at Rock Father HQ (our house). We have a lot of Design & Drill items in our collection, and they've always tapped into that natural desire for kids to want to build and create. At the most basic level, they love to "put things together like mommy and daddy," but with the colored drill bits and bolts, here they can make fancy patterns or just do some freestyle art. Out of all of our sets, this one became a fast favorite, with the light-up function in some ways recalling Lite-Brite style play, and the new light-up drill moving faster (and brighter) than our other Design & Drill tools. The big bonus here is the sound-activated flashing lights, which have the ability to create an instant dance party. It's like having Saturday Night Fever on the art desk, and that's something I can get behind! Some great STEM action in this set for little makers!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have replacement drills?**
A: No they don’t. Very frustrating

**Q: What is the difference between this and the renewed one besides the price?**
A: I purchased mine in 2017. I don’t know what the renewed version is. However, the one I bought stopped working after the first week, so I hope the renewed one offers better quality.

**Q: Did anyone have trouble getting the drill to work?  It works if I hold the cover tightly down. This is second one- same thing.**
A: I’m having the same trouble with the drill. The company says to contact them. I did and I’m still waiting. They do sell a replacement drill byt I don’t know if it will work with this model.

**Q: Gave to my daughter for Christmas and drill stopped working 2 days later. How do I get a replacement?**
A: We are sorry to hear that received a defective drill. We stand behind our products and want you to be 100% satisfied. Please reach out to us at gethelp@educationalinsights.com so that we can make this right and send a replacement.

### ⭐ Does not work smoothly
*by T***R on August 22, 2025*

The screw drive does not fit well with other part. Just gave it to my granddaughter. I wish I had opened it sooner. Also I do not hear,any music. Gems are re hard to start turning. It is definitely not what I was buying. Also over priced for what it does. Disappointing.
