What is the recommended size for a twelve year old - adult or child?

The child size one is very small, so if your 12 year old is average size I would definitely recommend the adult size.

Unless your child is husky I think the child size because it needs to be snug to hit the right pressure point. They look very small but they stretch. And it's a thick comfortable fabric.

Depends on wrist size. I have a small wrist, 7in, so I ordered child size. It fits but is uncomfortable for me. Wish I had ordered adult.

Unless your child has Quasimodo wrists from Hunchback of Notre Dame, I would order the child size. The idea is to keep pressure on the wrist. The adult size would be too loose and defeat the purpose.

The larger 750 kit definitely would be appropriate for a 12 yr old. I don't know what the recommeded ages say on the box, but I bought the 100 set 1st for a 5 1/2 and 7 yr old and quickly got the next size up 300 ! The 750 would make a great first present !

I am not sure about adult sizes. We purchased three different child sizes. The child sizes were accurate.

It fits well on a slim adult (5'9") and its highly adjustable. It would be too big on a kid who hasn't had the 12 year old growth spurt yet.

I bought the youth (small) for my 12 year old grandson and it was WAY too small. I am changing to a large--at least that way he can grow into it, if need be

I'm an XXl, fits me just great.- could possibly fit up to 300 lb person.I've had a friend who is a medium, fit well as well. I'd say an adult small/kid large is about the smallest I'd say

I Think 12 inch should be good. will be much comfortable and able to move his hand freely.

A 12 " My 20 year old son is a pro mountain bike racer now. I bought him a 12" when he was 1 year old by the time he was 3 years old it fit him perfectly and he could ride it without training wheels. The 12" easily fit him and lasted up to he was about 6 years of age. I just bought my 2 year old grandson a 12" for his birthday last November for his birthday.

I wear a 10 or 12 and am comfortable in a large. They are meant to fit VERY snugly. An XL or 1XL (if you sometimes need an 18) should be a good fit.

I think so. My children are younger, but the size of the tools is not necessarily for a young child or toddler. I'd imagine they'd be a good size for most 12 year olds. The hammer is 11 inches, the screwdriver 8 inches, wrench 6 inches, and pliers a little over 6 inches long.

I would go with an adult size. One difference between youth and adult is the length of the straps. With an adult size you can shorten the straps, but you can't lengthen them on a youth size.

Yes, I am fairly certain that the 12 inch is the way to go. Hope it works for you. My son is on his 3rd year with his!

We got the adult set and my grandson was 10 1/2. He loves them. I would say since your son is 12, the adult set would be better so you don't have to turn around and get another set in a year or two.

The one I got is definitely for an adult. I don't know if they come in children's sizes.Mary

My 12 year old son uses the X2 youth medium and it fits great. He has been using it for almost a year now. Xenith has a guide on how to properly measure for your child so you can het the best fit
