Pocket Rocket!

September 4, 2018 By: Paul McBeath (Corrigin, Australia)

Comments
Been going to get a copy of this for while and now I wished I'd brought it sooner.

Pros
Handy size.
Good range of data.
Nice quality

As others have said, a bigger version would be nice ( A5 or even A4) for the aging customer!
 

Engineers Black Book

September 3, 2018 By: Philip Bogdonoff (Vail, United States)

Comments
For a quick reference guide it is what one would differently want to have in his/hers collection.

Pros
Book is well informed and displayed out nicely.

Cons
Understand that this book is made to fit in your pocket. It would be nice if a large print book was also made.

Handy Book for a Mechanical Engineer

August 29, 2018 By: Kyle Pace, DRS Technologies (Brown Deer, United States)

Comments
Great source for commonly used information normally found in the Machinery Handbook.

 

Super handy

August 27, 2018 By: Alistair Spence, Duncan Cycles (Paradise, United States)

Comments
Wish I'd discovered this book years ago. It's great to have on hand, and a great refresher for a lapsed mechanical engineer like myself.

Cons
Pages are a little hard to turn. Bigger spiral binding would help there. An option to buy a version with bigger print would be great too.

Great little book

August 26, 2018 By: Jared Groves (Brisbane, Australia)

Comments
Easily the best little book full of information wouldn’t be caught dead without it

Pros
Too much to list it’s fantastic lays flat, pages don’t mark easy

Cons
I’d probably buy another one if they came in larger page sizes
 

Great source if information

Comments

Nonoe
 

Fantastic Reference

August 23, 2018 By: Alex M, NewSpark Labs LLC (Woburn, MA, United States)

Comments
The content of this reference manual and the quality of the printing is astounding. Great for looking up small details that sometimes slip the mind.

Pros
Well-organized and easy to read text and graphics. Nice little drill point gage included!

Cons
I once tried to look up screw thread engagement rules of thumb, and didn't find it. That's OK, in order to keep the book short (and lightweight), attention must be focused on the more general content. No biggie!!

Nice form factor

August 22, 2018 By: Jeff Schilling (Asheville, United States)

Great form factor for shop queries. Incredibly dense amount of information. I suspect it won’t replace all reference books but it will certainly become my daily go to
