Every gear has a job to do
Beating an egg with a fork in a bowl until it’s white and frothy is hard work.An eggbeater works much
better than the fork and makes the work much easier.The gears in a real eggbeater correspond with
the gears in the K’NEX model.The gears let you apply less force and beat the eggs in no time.
