FAQ

How does the wrench actually work? Can kids adjust it like a real one?

Yes — Chomp is a functional adjustable 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.

Why give a kid a wrench? Isn’t that kind of advanced?

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.

What sets the Hippo Wrench apart from your hammer or measuring tools?

Everything on your diy kids tool belt targets a different skill. The hammer builds coordination, the tape measure introduces planning and measurement, and the Chomp 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.

Can Handyfamm tools grip real nuts and bolts?

Yes, within reason. Chomp 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.

What types of projects does this pair well with?

The Chomp 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.

Is the wrench character just for looks, or does it help kids engage?

The hippo character, Chomp, serves 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 becomes a nonverbal learning buddy. The wide, confident face and sturdy design help children feel that they’re not alone in the learning process.

    Super unique and fun!

    We absolutely love the uniqueness of this tool. I was surprised how well it actually worked. I'm a bit of a DIYer myself and love to find projects that my 6-year-old can help with. These tools definitely helped expand the types of projects we can do together now!

    The wrench is perfect to let the grandsons try out their skills.

    The grandsons loved working in the garage with their uncles and grandpa now that they have their own tools.
