Description
Allow your youngsters to experience a bit of the craft of welding. Rather than welding metal on metal, this kit features the welding of plastic pieces together with a melted plastic tip. Just insert a plastic welding rod into the handheld, battery-powered welding tool to start joining plastic beams together. The instruction manual features step-by-step illustrated instruction on how to create a 20” tall tower suspension bridge. Once the bridge has been completed, the pieces can be snapped apart and welded back together again. After constructing the bridge, the user may create their own building ideas with the included pieces. Adult supervision is required at all times while in use. Contents include 20 A beams, 28 B beams, 32 C beams, 24 D beams, and 48 corner braces. Requires four D batteries, not included. ~ Brianna
