STEM Starter Wrench

Yes — it is a functional adjustable STEM wrench, just designed for small hands. Your child can turn the side dial to widen or narrow the jaw, just like a grown-up’s version. It teaches them real mechanics like grip pressure, tightening, and alignment — without any of the sharp edges or intimidating bulk of adult tools.

That’s the beauty of it. The Chomp Wrench is one of the best ways to set up a child’s first encounter with engineering tools. Focusing on building DIY fuindamentals, it adjusts and adapts to your kid’s understanding of tool usage, rather than forcing standard technical grip on them. It introduces mechanical concepts like tension, thread alignment, and problem-solving in a very tactile way. It’s ideal for curious kids who love puzzles or figuring out how things work.

Everything on our DIY kids tool belt targets a different skill. The kids hammer builds coordination, the children's tape measure introduces planning and measurement, and the STEM Wrench is about fine motor precision and adjustability. It’s the only tool in the collection that changes form in your child’s hand, challenging them to think in 3D while they work.

Yes, within reason. STEM Wrench is designed to grip standard-size and small hardware bolts often found in basic home DIY activities and supervised builds. It’s not meant for car repair, but it’s perfect for “helping” with household assembly tasks, play tool benches, or STEM projects involving real components.

The STEM Wrench is ideal for projects with rotating parts, building kits, cardboard construction, and DIY models. It’s also a great fit for science fair builds, where kids are working with fasteners or assembling lightweight structures that involve bolts or twist mechanisms.

The hippo character, Chomp and Bolt, serve a deeper psychological purpose: it builds trust and reduces hesitation. For kids who might be intimidated by metal tools or unsure how to begin, Chomp and Bolt become a nonverbal learning buddy. The wide, confident face and sturdy design help children feel that they’re not alone in the learning process.
