All I need in one place

November 16, 2025 By: Elijah Marshall (Leeton, Australia)

Comments
For many years, I've needed to get this book or that chart or the other reference to be able to teach engineering to my high school students.
I bought this book to see if it could provide everything I needed in one place and it absolutely has.

Pros
The best bit is the self-adhesive tabs. I can find what I need quickly and I've got a few set up for my own use for things I know I'll need

Cons
I wish I had a copy for everyone in the class!

Most useful book at trade school and the workshop

September 10, 2025 By: Dylan White, Allan Engineering (Epping , Australia)

Comments
Most useful tool in the shop!

Pros
I love that i can just wipe down this book and how quick it is to find what you need and find all conversations in seconds. Going to have to get a pocket sized one so always have one on hand, I reckon the other books would be just as helpful in there respective fields.

Cons
Not buying it sooner! Cannot fault this book!
 

Why didnt I buy this sooner

September 9, 2025 By: Kevin Lockwood (Ipswich, United Kingdom)

Comments
Wish id brought this book sooner been struggling with the normal small engineers book and decided to buy this and absolutely amazed at how helpful it's been will definitely be buying the other books in the range and can't recommend it enough

Pros
Decent size not to big but not to small either everything is easy to find especially with the helpful tabs nice clear print decent quality paper not filmsy normal paper

Cons
Would like there to be a sheet you can put on the pages to just protect them if you leave it open on a page
