is this good for a 12 year old

Obviously any sort of equipment like this requires both proper instruction on how to use and supervision depending on how much you trust in their understanding of the tool and it's uses. Of course it is not a toy, it is incredibly sharp and will cut through anything and EVERYTHING as it arrives freshly sharpened. You'll have to make that decision for yourself as you know the person you'd be giving this knife too better than I do and hence can make better judgement on purchasing it.

Depends on the twelve year old. Any knife is dangerous or destructive in the hand of anyone not mature enough to have one. I'm 48 and I got my first knife when I was 11 or 12.

For a 12 yr old, I would recommend something with more zip. I got this for my son when he was 8, and it was a good first device, but he now finds it fairly limited (he is 11). For the same price, you could pick up an android phone with more power and battery life.

It depends on the 12 year old. Ours was on the weaker side. Small, not to active. When we got this he couldn't pull the string even though it is pretty weak. It took about a year before he had the ability to do so, but now he enjoys it.If you are concerned, go with a traditional short-bow. It is far easier to draw than the compound.

I think so. My children are younger, but the size of the tools is not necessarily for a young child or toddler. I'd imagine they'd be a good size for most 12 year olds. The hammer is 11 inches, the screwdriver 8 inches, wrench 6 inches, and pliers a little over 6 inches long.

This is not too complicated for a 12 year old. The interface and controls are very easy to use.

This is just my opinion but I would say yes. I bought one for a 7 year old and she loves it.

It is a very heavy crossbow and can be difficult to string and cock. If you are confident that your 12-year old can constantly hold a 15lb crossbow and load a 90lb draw (with the rope cocker), then it might be nice for him. Be safe.

We bought it for our 12 year old grandson he is an intermediate skateboarder and he loves it. Hope this helps

I guess it would depend on how tall he or she is. It does expand a bit, but even at the longest length it isn't too large for my 6-year-old (50 inches tall) to use... so I'm guessing that it would seem small for a 12 year old...

I bought it for my 11 year old. But, if you can follow simple directions, it can be used by 8 year olds to learn the basics and for fun. For more in depth knowledge of the principles and the electronics, it can be useful for teenagers.

I don't know because I purchased this product for my grandson who is 12 years old.

Yes, my brother, who is 12, is the one who bought it and uses it. But he is big for his age.

I believe so. The tools are real. I gave it to a 5 year old who has to be supervised when he uses them but I imagine a 12 year old will find use for them.

I would say so, I bought it for an 11 year old girl and she was able to use it easily. Its not too complicated and is good enough to do basic observations.

Yes, got it for a 10 and 12 year old. They are both on the small side,but plenty big.

I purchased it for my toddler. It broke when he dropped it with me supervising. I highly doubt a 12-15 year old would want this as a gift.I also teach children with emotional disabilities and have foster children.
