Real Tools
for Kids
One real tool + one build project delivered every month. Built for ages 5+. Designed to build together.
Your kid keeps grabbing the real tools. You keep saying no. You bought the plastic set. They used it once. They knew it was fake.
Or maybe you’ve been meaning to build something together. You just never had the project ready.
There was nothing in between. Until now.

Nails, wood and a project they can hang outside

How It Works
1.
Open the box
Tool, project, parts, guide.
2.
Build it together
Made for small hands next to yours.
3.
Use the real tool
Not pretend. It actually works.
4.
Fill the toolbox
Month 1 starts it. Every month adds one more.
By month 12, a full real toolbox.
First they build the toolbox itself. Then every month brings a new skill, a new project, and new tools they keep for good. Nothing here gets thrown away.
Choose how they start building
A full year of tools and projects monthly, or the first 3 in one box
What parents are saying
"The Handy Famm tool set is a great choice for kids who want to help and/or learn to do things for themselves."
Stephanie Ganz, Apartment Therapy
Built by a dad who couldn't find real tools for his own kid
In 2018, Josh took his daughter to a hardware store for a father-daughter project. Everything in the tool aisle was built for adults - real but not safe for her hands. And he already knew what the alternative was: plastic toy tools that don't actually do anything. Too dangerous or too babyish. Nothing was built for her.
He just wanted her to use real tools. So he spent the next few years figuring out how.
If you've been meaning to do this with your kid, this is the thing that makes it happen every month.
Frequently asked questions
Does my kid use this alone?
The projects are designed to be done together. If you can read instructions, you can build this.
What comes in the box every month?
One real ASTM-certified tool and one build project. Everything included. No extra trips to the store.
My kid already has toy tools. How is this different?
Kids know they're fake. Handy Famm tools are real metal, real weight, real function.
What's the difference between the subscription and the starter kit?
The subscription sends one new tool and one project every month. Skills build, toolbox grows. The starter kit is 3 tools, 3 projects, one-time, no commitment.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your account anytime.
What age range is this for?
Ages 5 and up.
Is the tape measure blade safe for small fingers?
Yes. Our tape measure is made from kid-safe flexible tape measure materials, with a retraction button and soft tip to keep their little fingers safe.
The weekend project you've been meaning to do. Delivered.
A new real tool every month. A new project to build together. A toolbox they build themselves, one month at a time.
