Why we fell in love with these adult toys

When we hear the phrase "toys for adults", the first thing that comes to mind necessarily has some vulgar subtext. In fact, the gaming industry has moved much further than rubber products No. 5. Those that have fallen into our hands have absolutely wonderful properties. Seriously, look for yourself — we literally blew the roof off, and work in the editorial office got up. Got up, yes.

1. All hands

UGEARS are self—propelled models that are assembled without glue. Every detail is made of wood with incredible precision. A choice of locomotives, wagons, tractors and other technological things. Creating, for example, a locomotive can take up to 12 hours. But then you will have a wonderful handmade train in your hands. Which can be run. Yes, forget about the radio-controlled helicopter, now everyone will want a wooden train.

2. Nothing but wood and rubber bands

All ready-made models work at the expense of mechanics. At the same time, there is nothing in the kits except wooden parts and rubber bands. The parts of the constructor are attached to each other, and the rubber bands act as springs and starting elements. Manufacturers put detailed assembly instructions to each kit, and all parts are numbered. You can get confused, but only if you prefer the method of scientific poke.

Wooden elements are subjected to special laser treatment — splinters in the fingers will not remain. You will not find electrical circuits or servomotors in any set — pure mechanics. Everything is natural and "terribly fashionable", like any beautiful handmade.

3. The models you assemble work

We love everything technological and useful. UGEARS are not just another stupid figurines on your shelf: the gears move one by one and set in motion the wheels of a locomotive, a combine bucket and even, imagine, a safe lock. Yes, a safe made of wood and rubber bands. Miracles, honestly.

4. Thank God, we understood what to give to partners

At first glance, UGEARS seems like frivolous fun, but only until you see three adult uncles enthusiastically assembling a tractor (we saw if anything). Such a gift performs three tasks at once: it answers the eternal question "what to present", hints at originality and, of course, directly tells your business partner: "I think you're incredibly smart, put together a safe." Beauty.

Separately, about the originality — there are no models like UGEARS in Russia: there is only one official distributor in the country. And it's captivating.

5. They don't break

No, of course, if you take a wooden business card holder, swing it and throw it into the wall, it will fly apart. If not shattered, then it will definitely lose some detail. But if you don't behave like a barbarian, but just collect models and rejoice, then they will last for quite a long time. The manufacturer gives a guarantee for each set — 30 days.

6. We lied about adults

Of course, from the very beginning we made a little mistake. Especially so that the online store is not flooded with loving parents buying new games for their children. Wooden models are a great entertainment not only for adults. Assembly develops fine motor skills and attentiveness. And if you were looking for a patience simulator for your fidgets, then you should pay attention to UGEARS. It is not necessary to immediately take up the railway — you can start with simpler models.
