The small excavator looks great and my son was beside himself with joy when he got him last summer. But after just 2 weeks use in domestic Buddelkiste the joint of the gripper arm was so worn that it always jumped out and no longer attach little later left and the excavator therefore became unusable. Also at the 2nd attempt with the same product, the joy lasted only very briefly. So there will be no little brother excavator with us next summer. I see myself now in order for a more stable alternative.
