Recommendation: yes by TobyMac

This is a great set. Tricky to build, a good challenge. But not so much, that you get frustrated. The end result looks good, and all functions work good. Only the turning of the crane goes slow and jerky. But thats because there are 2 large cylinders used. They need a lot of air. If you ever have the chance to pick up this set: DO IT!

Given that this set is 25 years old, it is appropriate that it stands as a flagship set in Technic theme: When it was released it had the most sophisticated pneumatics functions in the Technic range. A power operated pneumatic pump allows the pneumatic system to remain pressurised while operating. The Air Claw arm is easy to operate and functions well. The V6 engine has a very satisfactory sound as the truck is pushed along.
