Would a jig saw be a dangerous gift for a young child? You decide?

Answer 2

Puzzle good power tool bad.

Answer 3

you can buy the big ones for little children and they cant swallow them  and if they were very young someone would be helping them ?no good stimulating pressy and educational good choice?  

Answer 4

well that depends on whether it's a jigsaw puzzle or a wood cutting tool

The former is good the latter is bad.

Answer 5

A jig saw puzzle is good. A jig saw tool is bad.

Answer 6

Now examine this question    .  The tool,  jig saw  yes would be very dangerous   and a child should not have access to one.  

The  game or puzzles   are OK as long as simple rules are followed,  Very small children should only have simple ones with large pieces,  Not small bits than can  be put in mouth and swallowed ...  get appropriate puzzles for the age of the child...    

Answer 7

h**l no it'd prefer a chainsaw anyway.

Answer 8

I wouldn't have that man around a child of mine (if i had any)..i'm referring to the psycho from the films

Answer 9

yes it would, try a hack saw.  If you want a safe toddler gift then get jigsaw puzzles. They make em for all ages even babies.  The 4-6 pieces are huge!  Try it, you'll like it.

Answer 10

yeah. so would an electric plane ;)

Answer 11

I think yes cause if accidentally put it in his mouth ??  

Answer 12

I was thinking you were asking about a jig saw puzzle. then I reread the question. Yes it would be dangerous for a small child unless it was a fake one.  

Answer 13

Yes ! they could choke on one of the pieces !!!

Answer 14

Not as dangerous as an industrial woodchipper!

Answer 15

depends what size the jig saw pieces are if they are very big(so thay can't be swallowed)then I would say they are a very safe gift.

Answer 16

depends on the brand.personally i would choose a dewalt.it would last him longer,and if he cut his head off,i can have it back.great!!!

Answer 17

It wouldn't be if he were only to use it under supervision.  In fact, it could be a great way for a parent to bond with a child through a shared hobby.

Answer 18

depends on how small the pieces are.

Answer 19

No my 13 year old has his own jig saw which he keeps in his tool box but a picture jigsaw aw they can be very dangerous if they were to choke on the small pieces pmsl

Answer 20
