I have 2 sets of said brand, and yes, the quality of the bits are pretty good, although mainly used for ornamental purposes. You can't really play with it, so they sit on my windowsill and look pretty nice.
Whats funny is *steel tech* was a real line of toys in the early 90s. I had gotten one as a kid and it was cool, came in a tool suit case looking thing with a battery powered screw driver, and a lift to put your builds on (ahhh the memory's)
Haha i like the fact that it says on the back in Swedish "Not suitable for children that are 8 years old due to choking hazard" So its ok to give the toy to a 7 year old or a 9year old but not an 8 year old?
Good doctor, the video game "The Binding of Isaac" features a power up called the sad onion that looks just like the warning icon. I didn't know if you were aware of that.
They failed at swedish letters on the box; "Ej lamplig for barn 8 ar pga. sma delar", and looking past that, it only states that it is not apropriate for children 8 years old, not bellow 8 years.
hey ahens! when i watch yur reviews you seem to be intrested in the "sad onion" ever to thought about making ashens shirts with the sad onion on it? i would get it....
