The Technic Gear
“This is a small LEGO Technic set but much like the 42008 Backhoe Loader. The main feature of this model is an arm that can be raised and lowered using a gear on the back of the loader that operates a worm gear. It has two parallel arms that help keeping the loader’s load... More straight and in balance.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The set under review is appreciated for its straightforward build, encompassing a main model and a secondary chopper with sidecar, both devoid of stickers, simplifying the assembly process. While it lacks explicit play features, its design offers engaging maneuverability, particularly highlighted by a gear mechanism that enables movement of a palette up and down.”
 

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Mini Telehandler set 8045 was released on December 4, 2009, retailing for $11, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $20, while used sets sell around $8.
