Eitech Metal building kits review and #giveaway 12/8 US–CLOSED

Eitech is a German metal kit building company. They have recently introduced Teifoc brick and mortar building kits in the US.  Eitech offers melting buidling kits for a variety of ages.  From the beginner kits meant of 4+ year olds to introduce kids to metal building, Basic sets for 6-8 years old, and the Exclusive, Solar, and Experimental kits for 8 + years old.  Then there is the brick and mortar sets I mentioned.

I LOVE toys like this for my boys.  My two oldest are 6 and 8.  They are really into legos right now.  They’ve had a number of lego sets.  They are to the point where they can put them together themselves, reading the directions, and do it right.  I was hoping to find something similar that would be more challenging for them.  They were so excited when they heard that I would get to review the one of the Eitech metal building kits.

This is the one we received to review:

One of the cool things about this particular kit was that it had a booklet that included 3 different instructions for 3 different vehicles you could make with the part included.  The boys decided they wanted to make the little quad in the booklet.  The directions are not written word directions.  They show step by step directions with pictures.  The parts are labeled with numbers with a key in the back that had a picture of each of the parts.  You could, say, lay a screw on top of the picture too and see that that was the right size screw to use for that particular step.

This kit was meant for 8+ year and up.  My 6 year old wanted to help. It was a bit advanced for him but I showed him where to put the screws and let him twist the nuts on.  His older brother was able to do a little more though he still needed some help.  My 6 year old had fun experimenting with the spare parts while his older brother helped to complete the steps.

When we finally finished the quad we decided on, my 6 year old couldn’t wait to test it out.

If you are looking for a hands on, age appropriate toy, that will encourage your child’s imagination, I would highly recommend looking into Eitech toys.  The pieces a sturdy quality metal pieces.  Not the flimsy aluminum junk that some other companies offer.  The kit comes with all the pieces you need and then some.  Our kit also included 2 small wrenches and a small screw driver.

Where to buy:  Since the products are just being introduced in the US there are only a few retail (brick and mortar) stores offering the products. You can see if there is a store near you by clicking here.
There are however, 3 websites that sell Eitech toys:  amazon.com, Girders and Gears, and Lainie’s Way.

Review Summary:  Yes this toy is fantastic for your little builders (or big builders). Quality metal pieces and all part included make this a toy that will last for years.  It’s is a great hands on, spark a child’s imagination type of toy.  This is more of a challenging toy so be sure to get the kit that is age appropriate for your child/grandchild/niece/nephew

  45. I really like the Classic R/C Off-Road Vehicle Construction set. My oldest son would spend hours taking it apart, trying to make it cooler and better!
