Operating Instructions

The Discovery #MINDBLOWN Early Engineers set allows for both guided and imaginative construction. Use the included ratchet tool to connect the various brackets, wheels, nuts, and screws to form your desired creations.

Using the Ratchet Tool

The ratchet tool is designed for easy gripping and turning. Place the hexagonal opening of the tool over a nut or screw head and turn clockwise to tighten, or counter-clockwise to loosen. The ratcheting mechanism allows for continuous turning without repositioning the tool.
