Well worth the cost

very handy

Lettering a litle small for my old eyes

Excellent resource for on the go reference

Good format, complete, robustly bound

None

This book contains a wealth of information in a clear, concise format that is easy to navigate. Yes, the information can be found in many places but the benefit of having such a wealth of knowledge collated in one pocketable reference guide cannot be underestimated. There is always room for improvement however from what I have seen, this is by far the best thought out pocket book of it's kind.

Well laid out, vast range of subjects and information, useful size

Covers would benefit from being more rigid, perhaps made from plastic sheet with an elastic closure/ page keeper, torque recommendations for the featured bolt specs would be useful, price is a little strong for the current construction but would be more reasonable if the rigidity and strength were improved so it might survive better in the workshop or pocket.

Great little book! I use it almost every day. Don't think about buying one, just do it!

Plenty of useful information. Durable. Simple, well designed graphics. Free drill sharpening gauge!

I think a stainless steel gauge would be a nice improvement.

I had seen this for sale in MSC here in England,after watching ABOM79 on YouTube showing off his copy,I didn't hesitate to order. Full of so much useful data that I am constantly using in my tool room.

I am a hobbyist and like to watch YOUTUBE, while watching ABOM79 he had just received a copy of this book and praised it for all the information that is in it ... SO I ordered it from KBC Tools Canada ... I just received this today and found it could be used for more that metal machining ... I do some wood working and a lot of the contained information can be used in woodworking . how to sharpen drills screw types etc ...

I find this book really, really interesting and chock full of useful information ....

Thank you for putting out such a fine publication ...

NONE

This book has plethora of useful information

Has a lot of information that you'd need look up on the internet in one small book, even comes with a drill sharpening gauge

none

Everything that you ever need in one book

Much better than any other book I have had

N/A

Plenty of useful content all in one place, excellent for hobby and pro machinists/engineers alike.

Useful and easy to find data backed up by clear and often colour pictures. The pages are coated and easy to keep clean. Pocket size.

None that I've found yet. Maybe add some welding data??

more info than i need at the moment but its all here for later

all in one book

i hope i don't lose it needs a fixing point so i can tie it to a central point ( not that safe place you can'f find next time )

This book is a definite must have for machinists, engineers and millwrights or even the home hobbyist. Chock-full of information on material properties and uses, formulae, designations, and tables, just a great book to have on hand

Informative, vast and encyclopedic!

None

Great book for infomation

Easy to carry around

No cons

Everything I need is here. Even wipes clean. Good for my workshop. Handy size and opens flat on every page. Wouldn't becwithout one now. Drill gauge is a handy addition

Packed with info and easily fits in your pocket. Everything you need to know at your fingertips .

Not getting one sooner
Aluminium drill gauge prone to damage.

best book I have in my home workshop would not be without it now.

it grease proof, fit in my pocket, simple to use, best of all there a lot of info at my finger tip

A Must have! Very useful in every situation at the workshop even when sharpening tools.you're unsure of something? For sure you will find the answer in the black book.

Found it very useful for when in doubt i have found all the answers. Despite full of data and it's size the information is read with ease.

Book is perfect no cons. Only I would prefer if the drill sharpening gage is made from stainless steel rather than aluminium so it would not be damaged from the twist drillls

Finally something that I can slip into my pocket and carry with my for easy reference

Good printing that I can even read without my glasses. The coated pages sure help.

There is nothing wrong with this book

Excellent reference but It's a shame that the tungsten carbide pages didn't have more manufacturers inclued in the pages Plansee ,Ceratizit ,Walter ,WNT

Excellent time saving on certain Conversions, tapping & Drilling charts, Dividing head Indexing tables

It Would be better if the Thread charts were included within this book too, would be nice to have some helicoil info too & possibly info on Milling cutters too, Pricey for size?
