Great reference tool for any technical field!

September 6, 2018 By: Kenneth Huddleston (Big Spring, United States)

Comments
Well organized, comprehensive versatile tool - I'm excited to finally have a pocket reference this wide-ranging, especially the practical conversions and easy to read tables, charts and graphs.

Pros
Contents are logically organized, graphics are easy to read and understand, conversions are aimed for practical application.

Cons
I wish the index tabs were already attached, took me quite a while to do myself, and I still didn't get them straight.

Great resource

Pros
Fairly comprehensive and easy to use. Provides the relevant, to the point information in a clear and concise way.

Cons
It would be perfect if it had wrench and socket clearances for hex head bolts in the counterbore and countersink section. See for instance: https://www.engineersedge.com/wrench_clearance.htm

Super handy

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

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.

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.
