8958-1: Granite Grinder

Hammer out those crystals!

Krakk! Krakk! Krakk! The rough, tough Granite Grinder is hunting for crystals, and its double-pronged jackhammer is just the tool for the job! Smash apart rocks, load crystals into the trailer, and haul '˜em back to base. Jackhammer really works when vehicle treads roll! Features heavy-duty rubber treads, removable floodlight, attachable wagon for collecting crystals and removable gas cylinders! Includes miner and rock monster and accessories! Combine with #8960 Thunder Driller to create the massive Aero Shredder!

Excellent.

Posted by yamdel in Australia on 03 November 2009

This is my second Power Miners set, and I'm not regretting it at all.
The jackhammer front drill is something I would never have figured out if there was no instructions.

Pros:
Jackhammer/Drill
Tracks have good grip
Pulley sled (AWESOME - Love the chain)
Wide so it doesn't flip
Gas tanks (drive the vehicle and maybe power the pnuematic drill?)

Cons:
Way too many Glaciators
No decent spot to put dynamite (why would he keep it in the sled?)

Overall: Very good!

I will disintegrate you!

Posted by james3426 in United States on 30 October 2009

This is an okay set, but like most small sets, it is boring by itself. The vehicle itself has a cool design. It also has accessories, which are good for people who make lego cities. The Rahkshi Lerahk staff of poison head looks like it could just disintegrate a rock wall or a rock monster and it vibrates when you push the vehicle forward or backward.. I like the dynamite because of the detail on it.. The light on the top sometimes falls off and so does the hatchet. The crystal-transporting sled is a little unnecessary, but it is good for an MOC. I like any set with chains, so this is one source of them. Glaciator is cool, but he is too simple. Like most Power Miners sets, this has stickers with texture.

pros:
Lerahk staff head.
vibrating function.
Hatchet.
Crystal.
Cool build.
Stickers with texture.

cons:
Gets boring quickly.
Uninteresting without anything else.
Pull sled is unnecessary.

This is a good set, but if you want to get a cheap Power Miners set, get the Mine Mech.
