The world is a mess... and I just need to rule it

I've got a 9 and a 6 year old and I'm having a really hard time finding kid-sized tools for them - you search for "kids tool sets" and all you get are playskool plastic things. I still have the 3/4 scale kids tools *I* had as a kid - little hammer, pliers, screwdriver - but cannot find any of them any more. Also no kid-size saw. I settled on a little flush-cutting saw but it's not really ideal.

Any links/advice is welcome.

You can find "adult" tools that will fit kids. Look for tack hammers and pliers/screwdrivers come in a plethora of sizes. Also a coping saw is pretty easy to use at that age (what I started with).

Having kids is drat handy when you need to carry a bunch of stuff and don't have enough hands though.

My Dad never owned a set of clamps till we were all too old to sit on the boards he was cutting. Nothing more terrifying as a kid than your Dad tossing the circular saw across the yard as he screams "Get in the Car!" to go buy a new one. :D
