ROKR DIY Wooden Catapult Kit-3D Wooden Puzzle for Adults-Wood Ballista Model Building Kit-STEM Gift for Boys and Girls

My grandson has received other brands for gifts but he says your brand is the best. Very sturdy doesn’t break when assembling. He loved this one and has many more.

It's perfect for every age! It's easy to assemble and original, you can use it for decoration or to have fun!

This was my first model. I built it exactly as specified. I thought building it was fun, though some of the parts required quite a bit more force to attach to each other than I expected. The end result looks nice and makes a cool desk decoration.My main issues with the end result are:1. The firing plate (D1) rests on a set of long pieces attached like C1-C6-C5-C6-C1. C5 is in the middle, and is meant to work with the trigger. It has a little piece sticking up that holds the firing plate in place once it's pulled back, and then pushing down on the trigger is supposed to move C5 down, which releases the firing plate. However, C5 is firmly attached to C6 on either side with no vertical wiggle room; C5 doesn't have enough flexibility to move it's back half down with the trigger. So my end result was pushing down on C5 until it snapped (no surprise!). I can manage to put the snapped bit back where it should be, but it will fall out if I don't keep it in the right place with a finger. Pulling back the firing plate in this state and pushing up on the snapped piece allows it to stay in place due to the tension, but pushing down on the trigger will fire properly and cause the piece to fall out. Not exactly ideal.2. There's a knob that controls the angle of firing which makes sense. There's another knob above it, but it doesn't attach to anything or have any clear purpose; you can spin it as much as you want but nothing will happen or change. It feel like it's _supposed_ to be used to pull back the firing plate, instead of awkwardly pushing on some part of it. But the instructions showed no use for it, and there isn't anything included that feels like it would result in what I described. Some string could probably do it if someone is interested.Basically, this feels like a great thing to look at, but doesn't seem actually designed to easily load and fire. From now on I'll probably stick to models with minimal moving parts.

Every C9 piece fell out when I put it back it something else fell apart. When I tried giving the trigger power it broke the ratchet gear broke so it couldn't fire. If the rubber bands are left on overnight it will break. I would only gift this to display not to play.

A gift

My husband and son loved building this together!! It was a fantastic project, however it broke in less than 24 hours.

It shoot arrows but the trigger mechanism doesn't work well. The firing mechanism doesn't raise and lower as intended.

Great wooden toy, have bought over 5 of these and have been very satisfied with the quality and performance.
