The Bridge Kit (also named Girder Starter Pack in earlier games) is a utility, Which is used to place 5 Girders.
Description
There is just one difference between the Bridge kit and the Girder. That difference is that the Bridge Kit features 5 girders, while the normal girder-utility features just one girder.
The girder is a useful utility. It is a long thin piece of metal platform that can be placed by the player. Once placed, the girder has no special properties over the rest of the terrain. It is usually used by players to make a piece of platform to prevent their worms from slipping into the water, but is most often used to protect the players worms from incoming threats.

Get out of this!
The Girder Starter Pack is an absolute godsend in a situation where immediate return fire simply will result in your doom.
Carefully plotting this handful of Girders can make the most secure of Worm defences leaving only small gaps to launch.
Another method of use for the Girder Starter Pack is to block in the enemy Worms if you can get close enough to your adversaries.
Remember to ensure that the enemy cannotmove without wasting a turn by using a weapon and that you can damage them by making full use of the blast radius from weapons such as the Bazooka.
Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you have a worm standing under an overhang at the edge of the landscape, so a grenade shot is definitely out of the question. If this happens, a well placed girder opposite your worm can act as a rebounding mechanism to impress even the most acquitted of Worms players. Remember though, the grenade may need to be set to high bounce and high fuse to travel the distance required."

Usage
First/Second generation games
Once the girder is selected, the girder's angle and length can be adjusted by pressing the Left and Right arrow keys. After 1 full turn, the girder will double in length.
Third generation games
Once the girder is selected, the girder's angle can be adjusted by pressing the middle-mouse-button. Unlike first/second generation games, the girder can't increase in length.
3D games
Just like in the 2D games but length cannot be changed but is much more useful than the girder as it can place up to five girders at once no matter how much you have in your inventory but this utility is very rare. To unlock it in worms 3D, go to the campaign mission Beef Cake Breakfast Brawl and in the roof (you will need to use Low Gravity) there is a utility crate on a platform. In it is a bridge kit, collecting it will acquire it in the mission and you will unlock it for multiplayer*.
- This can only be used for mutiplayer only.
Tips & Tricks
- You can use the girder to jump over a big gap.
- Use the girder as a defence from weapons. Be careful, that some weapons can even pierce through girder(s) easily such as the Bunker Buster and the Blowtorch, letting your worm damaged.
