Is the hammer in this set strong enough to hammer in the toy pegs from the Melissa and Doug Pound A Peg? We lost our hammer.

I would say so, it's pretty sturdy....I have discovered that the grip can slid off the hammer sometimes, but it slides right back on and it a little bit rubbery so it hasn't cracked or anything (the grip is rubbery, not the head of the hammer), my son bangs this thing around all the time on all sorts of surfaces and really, it's held up very well!

The hammer in this set is very light, but it should work. I created a larger board made from real wood for my son to hammer pegs into and it works just fine.

Rachel, I don't think this hammer could be used for that purpose. It is very light and hollow.

Works great, and is not really difficult. My grandaughter was 18 months when I bought this for her, and she loved the "ammer" as she called it. She could pound the pegs, and they worked great, they are held with slight tension and not too much, so it works great. Little ones can hammer pretty hard once they figure this one out. Then you have to keep the hammer from being used on other things!!

Yes. It is very sturdy. I'm sure it can break with really rough play but it would take a lot.

we used the side of a hammer to pound it in. I had my son and daughter help hold parts together.

Yes the pushers are sturdy...have used them to play at least two times a week and they are holding up just fine

Our set has no broken parts! I highly recommend this kit! I have used it with lots of children 4 years old through jr. High schoolers!!! They all have fun with it!!

As someone who owns this toy, none of the latches are so hard a toddler can't work...but if it doesn't secure at all, send it back for another. It's a well-made toy that withstands the tough play of a 3 or 4-year-old. Enjoy! I love all the gups!Kelly

it's not flimsy, but having a little wood glue around might not be a bad idea.....one of the pegs separated from a wheel shortly after we got it but we have had no problems since.

Yes. It seems pretty sturdy - my 4.5 year old son sometimes pulls on it rather hard and it has not broken.

No the hammer was just as good as the picture . I have had no problem with it . Very well made...

The hammer will hold up, but the heads will not. They are both a made of plastic, a little soft and will be destroyed by the impact of hitting the stake. The hammer is solid, though. It's about the size and weight of a regular hammer.

I dont think so However it is a good strong set my Grand kids use it every day it stands up very well they are four and three it is almost two years old. Hope this helps Doug

No, because the bottom of the bench is not very sturdy. With that said, I'm afraid that if it's used for that purpose, the weight of toys will cause the bottom "wood" (it's not really wood) to break.

This slide hammer is 5 lbs. this is a really good set to have because it has; not only the slide hammer puller, but a 3 way manual puller and 2 way manual puller. It also has front and rear hub pullers that can be used with the manual or slide to pull the hubs or even some crank pulleys. Hope that helps.

it actually did nothing to stop the hammer. It should have but didnt. You might call the company. They were helpful when I called

Definitely a high quality set, with the ability to take a hammer blow. Not magnetized. However, you could magnetize them yourself. Go to Google for instructions.

Tool box with tools inside. Fun set, just watch out for the hammer! My 2 and 3 year olds really enjoyed the set but had hammers taken away once or twice :)
