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

Comments
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

This is One Great Bkack Book

August 2, 2018 By: Nicholas White (Bonneau, United States)

Comments
The best black book a man could ever have.

Pros
Size is perfect for pockets, plastic coating is great to keep it clean.

Cons
I can't think of anything that could make it better unless you could make one bigger in size si the print is bigger and you could put a hole in it to chain to your work area so no one could steal it.

3rd Edition (Inch) Review

July 26, 2018 By: Blake Talbot, Stonewall Consulting, LLC (Lafayette, United States)

Comments
Great book with a ton of useful information. I wish they would add an additional couple pages to add nominal dimensions of weld and seamless steel pipes. As of now, it goes up to only 6", and I usually deal with piping larger than that. Another thing is my book came with a misprint and had to place essentially a sticker on top of the mistake. Although that may be a more picky comment, at least they sent me the sticker to fix the problem, so that's a pro. Great book overall!

Pros
Useful information at your fingertips
Paper is durable
Color coordinated for finding things

Cons
Misprint
Few nominal piping sizes (only up to 6")
