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.

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!!
