These animal-shaped tools offer the perfect way to bond with kids by building something together. Introducing tools to a child can be daunting, but these adorable figures make it a more amusing experience.
Designed by 'iThinking Original Design Co., Ltd,' the 'Bear Papa' screwdrivers feature an interior that features the tool and a lovable bear as the exterior. This animal-shaped tool is not only whimsical, but also multifunctional. Each bear is comprised of various compartments located in its head, torso and feet. The head features a two-way ratchet screwdriver, the torso contains six different bits for different screws and the feet can be removed to reveal the contents of the torso.
As a functional screwdriver, it offers similar features much like others on the market -- but only this screwdriver can be a charming bear that could introduce a child to tools.
