From the Back Cover
Bustin' bulldozers! Learn about excavators, clam diggers, forklifts, compacters and much more! Travel along on a magic ride with Hard Hat Harry, the construction genie, as he shows you the "biggest, baddest, most awesomest construction equipment in the whole wide world." Watch a backhoe front-loader use his nose to push heavy boulders out of the way, and see a 260-foot tower crane that can lift 16,000 pounds-or eight elephants! There's a king-sized hammer called a pile driver... the wacky, weird barrier mover that can make a two-lane highway in seconds... a trackhoe bucket that chews ground with its metal "teeth"... and an off-road dump truck that's so heavy, it would crack a road in two just by driving over it! So grab your hard hat and hop into the driver's seat for an amazing adventure that's All About Heavy Construction Equipment!

Customer Reviews

My boys love it
Honestly, this video is similiar in style to a documentary. However, it does have voice overs for the construction machines and there is a guy called Hard Hat Harry who shows two boys around various construction sites. He also narrates on construction projects they are supposedly viewing as the viewer is.

The quality of the film is "B", there are no super special effects or well-known credits associated with big budget films or even children's productions for that matter. Nevertheless, my boys really enjoy watching the video and always point out which "machine" is their favorite. It's also been educational because they have learned the names of different construction vehicles and have corrected me on occasion! High tech video or not, learning is always a plus.

I can understand why some children may not appreciate such a video because there isn't characters dancing or singing. There are no vibrant colors that will pop brillantly from the screen. If your child likes pointing to trucks and construction equipment while the family is out drivng around, then this is a video for him or her. However, it they prefer Barney, The Wiggles or Bob the Builder, you may want to reconsider.

What a variety!!
My three year old son loves bulldozers and any other construction equipment. He had a bulldozer video that was his favorite until I bought this one. He absolutely loves it. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but that doesn't matter to him. All that matters is seeing the different construction equipment in action. There's a huge variety to see too. Some are ones that I've never seen before like the underground "Mole" which digs huge tunnels for like subways. The box reads for ages 2 to 80 and its true. My husband and myself found it quite interesting and entertaining. Hard Hat Harry does get a little silly at times, but you have to remember it is based for children.
I highly recommend this video if you have a little construction guy or girl at home. Who knows...maybe you'll end up like us and enjoy watching it yourself.

Extremely bad print!
Received it yesterday. It is recorded in LP mode. The copy has both picture and sound problems. There is noise on the picture that cannot be tracked away (top of the line Sony VCR). It is like a home video recopied 5 times using bad equipment. The contents are fine but do not deserve a rating of even one star because of these problems.
