Hydro power!

Your coffee mug needs a tune up - it's just not sounding right. You have a couple of choices. You could either A) take it to a very costly mug mechanic; or B) jack it up on the scissor lift kit you just put together! You choose B - and with the power of hydraulics, you easily lift up your mug and determine the cause of the funny sound (a paper clip stuck to the bottom). Your scissor lift not only saved you a costly repair bill, but also taught you a little about the joys of hydraulics.

But why stop at just lifting up your mug? With your Wooden Hydraulic Machines Kit Set, you're actually getting 4 kits in one (and not just "build one of four projects" - you actually get all 4 kits)! Build the aforementioned scissor lift, a platform lifter (to tote a shipment of rubber bands), a cherry picker (to get your mini cleaning crew to the top of your monitor), and an excavator (to dig up your desk and prepare it for new crops). Each kit is easy to construct and uses syringes (minus the needles) and tubing to provide the hydraulic push. And while the Wooden Hydraulic Machines Kit Set will give you hours of fun, you might want to let your kids play with them too. Betcha you could win a science fair easy (just let your geeklings do some of the work - okay?) Oh, and if you're super smart, you'll figure out how to use these kits and explore the world of pneumatics, too!
