Absolutely fantastic

August 22, 2025 By: Aydin Mehmet Herkiloglu, Global Manufacturing Group (Gladstone, Australia)

Comments
It is an amazing book to keep on your person, I often find it more helpful than my phone when I cannot think of the right terminology to look up specifics

Pros
The layout of the book is absolutely amazing, easy to read, easy to find what you’re looking for and the fact that they make it durable and tough for the actual work environment and not just an office space is amazing

Cons
The adhesive tabs I found did not stick all to well, but the table of contents is so good that you don’t really need them

Dense, not really a con but it is dense

Fantastic little book to have in your toolbox

June 18, 2025 By: Matt Anton (Bonshaw, Australia)

Comments
Wow what a fantastic little book to have in your toolbox! It has more information than I'd ever need, but it is definitely a handy reference for most common conversions and things like that. There's lots of great information for tinkerers in the garage and engineers alike!

Pros
Small form factor, detail of content, ease of finding relevant information, price

Cons
Quality of the book is generally fine, however most of the pages are stuck together at the binding from manufacture, which causes some sections on each pages to tear between the binding holes.
