Nothing. It's a flaw in the design, but it's still a good product and a good teaching tool.

Hi! Really nothing can be done for that... My daughter got frustrated a lot too, so I would start the bit for her and let her finish it. She figured out how to hold it on her own with time!...a month or so. She has actually started helping me with me real drill, closely supervised of course. Best of luck to your kiddos!

Nothing can be done about that, but what we did was showed the kids how to stand the bolt in the slot they want it in then use the drill to move it into the hole. It worked out better that way because it will always fall out of the drill when you flip it down to drill into the board.

there is a clear cover that goes over the bit holder. There is a hole on top of the clear cover that will allow you to slide one bit at a time out of the black plastic that you see in pic. The clear cover will not fall off because there is a lip that keeps it on. My only complaint is the bits are not 100% accurate. I bought this to drill carb jets and after using my micrometer i decided i could not count on the bit sizes.

That would not concern me. Mine does too. A lot of slotted tools that take bits do that, but if you're holding it upside down and the bit is falling out without touching it, your bit-extender is probably the problem and it's not retaining the bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't be critical if there is some movement.

Tighten drill chuck on to drill bit. The guide sleeve on the outside of the drillbit will stop drillbit from falling into cylinder. Be careful using tap, you do not want tap to fall into cylinder.. On the off chance this happens A magnet will remove it. You will have to back thread it out. When using compressed air to clean cylinder after new threads have been installed. Use a small amount of paint thinner to break down the oil.. After cylinder has been cleaned use a small amount of oil to lubricate cylinder. Ensure new threads are clear of any oil or debris. Use your liquid weld on new threads. Tore down threads. After 24 hours re torque again. Take your time and good luck Tighten drill chuck on to drill bit.

Ours blow around the deck all the time. We still love the set but I would love to find a way to hold them down as it's getting old having to keep retrieving them.

I found they sometimes get a bit stuck. Normally they should come out by pushing them lightly. Usually it helped when I unscrewed that bit just slightly until the legs drop out and then screw it up again.

If you can get some oil in the moving parts that might help or you can try to soak in hot water and that might loosen the parts up. I haven't had that problem yet but those are the 2 things I would try first.

We haven't had that to happen to our grandson's toy and he does use it often, so I don't know what to suggest, except to contact the Kidoozie Company. Sorry. Seems the batteries would have been the solution. If it's new, maybe send back to Amazon.

I had this problem in the beginning when i first got mine. All of the parts twist and the black thing inside... sorry i don't know what it is called but that could be a little difficult to get out it took me a little bit the first couple of times. Try twisting until it fully comes off. I think you twist to the right to get the parts off and to the left to lock them but not 100%.

I haven't had a problem with disks falling out or getting stuck. I don't use the dvd much. There are players that address this issue specifically and hold the disks in place. hope this helps.

Mine did not.....I had seen other reviews of no drill kit falling off during use. So went with this kit. This kit works very well.

The drill bits are stored in a separate box, not the drill body. Has been really handy in model making. Hope this helps. Al Beach.

Nothing can be done. Unfortunately you received a defective toy like i did. The only thing to be done is to return it. I didn't want to go thru that trouble and crossing my fingers I ordered a second set which came in good condition. I don't understand why the company doesn't make sure all the parts work before shipping.

I had this exact same problem. They were wedged together and my husband and I pulling together could not get the two pieces to separate. What I ended up doing that finally worked is this: Take two butter knives and stick them under the two tabs pushing them all the way up till you can see the tip of it coming through on the other side. Work them back and form and then start tugging. These seems to dislodge and unstuck it enough so you can get the two pieces apart. They work fine after this! It seems like they got pressed too tightly together during manufactoring or maybe the plastic dimensions are fiting just a bit too snug. I noticed from other reviews that when some people opened their product it was not "stuck" in all the way - whereas mine were completely pressed together where I could not see any of the ribbed bottom part. I think that may be why they became stuck. Hope this helps! We got ours apart!

You have to "slide" it in from the side, I think. Worth a try. Or maybe have one person hold one side down while another person pushes the axle down with foot (while wearing a shoe!) Try both suggestions. It's been a while since I put ours together. We have so many of these kids things, it hard to remember how they were all put together. I totally understand your frustration!

What happened to me was that the bit got stuck and has been impossible to remove. ALso, the drill basicaklly lacks torque.

A little late but posting in case someone else could benefit. We discovered that ours fall out when my kids spark when going in reverse. They had to train themselves to not spark unless they are moving forward. Not the perfect design but my kids love these things.
