This is River Song's screwdriver from Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead. Get the one from the doctor (or character) you like most.

I wouldn't suggest this one, in any case. It's simply a novelty and not as nice to carry around. If you already own the 10th doctors, good on you. But I would suggest it over both. It's more compact, easier to fit in your hand, has a pen built in, and requires a lot less effort to activate than the 11th doctors. If you do already own 10s, get 11s. It's spring action is quite fun to use.

This one isn't as iconic as the 11th doctor's screwdriver. It is the one used by River Song. Not one of the Doctors.

I have both and I like them both. This one is the 11th Doctor's wife's (Dr. River Song) screwdriver. It has a blue and red setting while the 11th only has green.

It really depends on your preference, but I would say the 11th doctors screwdriver. It's a lot bigger, louder, and has different functions this one doesn't.

Honestly Kenneth I would suggest the 11th. It has more bells and whistles for the money you would spend on it.

Its quite easy to use. There are many devices available. Your doctor should advice.

I would recommend you start 10 year olds with the Green xx light or yellow x light versions. But for someone that age you may want to consider or FULL RANGE set. It is inexpensively priced and you get a Yellow, Blue, Red and Black, so he/she can move progressively through heavier resistance and have extra units for both hands, and Mom or Dad can use the harder ones to set a good example. There may be imitators, so you want Weiss Medical! Thanks.

Surprisingly it is pretty good. The heads and the screwdriver itself is WAY better than i thought. Of course, it's not a use all day, every day of the week type of tool for me so I can't attest for that type of durability, but the feel is good, and has worked for me more than once lol.

I like the handle on the bk11 more and it has a bottle opener and wire breaker both I use more than I thought I would. Like they say better to have them and not need them then need them and not have them. Both are nice though I am happy with they 11 and it is my edc now.

Seems a bit much for computer repairs only. I would think you would want something smaller and lighter. It would be safe as you can set the clutch so you wouldn't be stripping out screws. That said this is a great all around drill/driver that I use everyday and all day for installing blinds and drapes. I've driven screws from a 1/2" #4 to a 4" #12 without a problem. If it's as tough as previous versions this will last for years.

Honestly it depends on his skill level. If he is always making cool things and has safely operated other powertools, then this would probably be alright with adult assistance and safety gear/precautions. Being a complicated machine, things can and will require repair, so I would not expect someone that age to fully maintain the machine. If he is into stuff like this though and has an older supervisor to help him operate/maintain it, it is never to early to get kids into engineering!

I had to use a thinner screwdriver. I think I tried every screwdriver in the house until I found one thin enough. And was so thankful. The Firefly was the only thing that entertained our baby for the first 3 months of her life. Good luck.

This one was given to my 14 year old son, but his 12 year old and 9 year sisters steal it from him all the time to try to play it. I think the Space Challenge Maze would be fine for an 11 year old.

I'm according with you. There are many electronic gadgets to say wich is better. My sister and me was checking between DS, Playstation, Tablets and vtech Innotab and finally we decided by the Innotab because we think that have characteristc more appropiated for my 4 years old nephew. For example, we think that a DS is a smaller toy for a 4YearsOld hands and we was looking for an resistent educational toy, but I'm sure that we, as women, consider more important the educational aspect than for example a father, who maybe consider as a priority the graphic quality of the toy and the type of games.

I'm pretty sure the Lisle is a better quality because the tekton bits shattered after 2 uses and the driver is very stiff and not sturdy. Its very cheap and you can tell once you handle it. Buy the Lisle if you don't want to spend snap on money. I ended up just buying a snap on in the end.

I agree with the other responder - best to take one screw with you to get a match. Might also look at getting one of those tiny sets of screwdrivers, too - like for eyeglass repairs. Here's one on Amazon that looks like the one I have for $6: http://smile.amazon.com/Eyeglasses-Slotted-Philip-Precision-Screwdriver/dp/B00BGASVD6/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1404321394&sr=8-16&keywords=eyeglass+repair+kits I use my kit all of the time for toys (both pet and kid) and all kinds of random items that have the smaller screws. Should help you to not strip anymore screws. If you can't find the right screws, I bet a piece of masking or duct tape would hold the plate in place without a problem - I think the plate is just there to protect pets (and small kids) from ingesting them. I don't think it makes a difference in the functionality of the toy. Best toy I've bought so far for my kitty - she LOVES it. Tried her with the automatic laser toy and she was not impressed, so she is discriminating about her entertainment. Hope this helps!

I have had mine for more than 15 years and I recently gave it to a friend.. Now I am buying another! And for $10.00, who cares?!?! If it lasts 2 years, it's still an awesome tool.

Agree with the other posts, this question seems cut off? I asked my 13 year old daughter if she understood this and she does not? What is the "tw". She loves her sonic screwdriver and says she has no problems with changing arrangements / pieces and making unique configurations. All sounds and functions of hers works perfectly. I concur with the others that if you are having any problems, return it to the seller. Hope that helps.

My son is 11 and is amazing with it now. I'd say it's appropriate for any child who has adult supervision, and once you feel confident that your son/daughter can handle it properly and practices the proper techniques and safety precaution then he/she is able to use it on their own.

The issues I have with this watch is that it tries to offer too much functionality with limited buttons. So you use the same button for different functions. You press a button longer or shorter to get different results. For a 62 year old man, getting unexpected results in frustrating. However, for a 11 year old curious boy it may be a challenge that builds confidence. He may become the expert user that can teach this old dog some new tricks. While I avoid re-setting up this watch, I still use it daily. My opinion is that the watch is suitable for a curious 11 year old.
