This is a great resource to use without having to check an app. Some folks like a hard copy of this book to flip through and with the tabs being included helps greatly to get where you need to be!
Pros
A lot of information for one to find the material you are looking for.
Excellent Compact Resource

All the knowledge I could want in a small book, well two books, since I also bought the Fasterners book.
Pros
Great quality, and it will be used in my small shop. I am not an engineer at all, but the material, and knowledge in these books are incredible.

Entered a trade school and got this book a while back and it has been extremely useful throughout schooling and just read random sections from time to time.
Pros
Goes pretty in depth with types of metals and materials. The entire book is well organized and with the red tabs makes it easier to access on the fly what I may be looking for.
Cons
I wish it had more on threading as I sometimes make treads that I can’t find in the book from time to time.
Great info!

Awesome even for the mechanical trades out there
Pros
Lots of new things to warn here and made me even consider completing some sort of engineering trade. Made remembering the formulas easier aswell
Cons
Something are grouped in an odd way. Also did not have a lot of information on types of gears and their pros and cons. Would have been cool if they had basics to using workshop equipment too
Great resource

Comments
A great resource to have at hand in the workshop.
Pros
More convenient to have and to quickly find information than the Machinery's Handbook (or in all the folders of paper I have or the internet). The section on TC inserts is very thorough and really useful, as I never remember all the codes. The thread section is also pretty comprehensive; pleased to see the tapered threads were included.
Cons
The index at the back is listed at quite a high level. Was surprised that aluminium grade 5005 was not listed anywhere; this quite a common rolled sheet grade here. It would be good have the weights and specs of SHS and RHS steel included with the tubes and solid sections.
Great book with attention to detail
