Product Description

The Team Talkin' Tool Bench™ is a 20-inch-tall plastic toy tool bench with an animated red toy saw, a yellow toy drill and a blue toy vice. The toy talks and makes various sound effects, including tool sounds.

The red Playskool logo is on the front of the brown surface of the tool bench.

The oversized plastic toy nails sold with the tool bench toys can become lodged in children's throats, posing a suffocation hazard.
