When Power Miners encounter rock formations, the LEGO Power Miners Stone Chopper (8956-1) deploys for demolition. This excavation cycle features twin rock-cutting saws that automatically spin as the vehicle rolls, a primary play function. The set includes a Power Miner minifigure ready for its task and a Rock Monster figure. This compact vehicle provides critical digging equipment for the crew. For additional construction, combine the Stone Chopper with the LEGO Power Miners 8957 Mine Mech set to build the larger Cave Cutter model, expanding operational scope.
