Excellent book! Wish I had found it sooner

Easily portable. Pages stay clean. Easy to find information.

I have inch version and wished it had both.

I use it as much as I use Machinery Hand Book.

Just received it and after scanning through it I think it will be very useful for my machining hobby.

Perfect size

None

Excellent book with lots of detail

Would like to be able to buy an A4 editon book

Good variety of info/data. Easy to read. Stays clean- you can wipe crud off. Stays flat on the bench so away to read. Good big print.

Invaluable reference guide, a must have for any workshop or apprentice.

The laminated pages are fantastic, the pocket size is convenient, for the most part a very comprehensive book.

Could use an extra couple pages for notes. A couple of plastic sleeves to carry either a site handout, ID, or Sutton gauges would be handy to have with the book. Needs weld symbols; beam/channel weight/flange&Web dimensions would be really useful.

Great format for use in the shop, it should hold up well.

Well laid out.

Some of the references I use, roller chain sizes, are in the other books.

Great source for egineering design info

The wax coated sheets help preserve the life of the book

Great content with plenty of diagrams

The tap location diagram helps

Tabs not being cut into the pages

The size of the handbook is great, and is packed with even more information than I thought it had in it. Great for a mechanical engineer.

References which standards it is sourced from. Graphics are simple and clear.

Contents page being divided into section may help looking for things. Otherwise it's not in alphabetical order, so doesn't have a clear order to it.

Excellent handy reference book to have in the workshop of any kind.

Well laid out and full of very useful information

The lack of the Drill Point Sharpening Gauge in 3rd edition was disappointing.

Found very useful in our small shop

Fantastic diagrams make for easy comparison to life models.

Straight to the point with easy to understand diagrams.

Seems more geared towards mechanical basis than for all engineers.

I bought this book from a local supply shop, am very impressed with it. There's a lot of valuable info crammed into a small package.

Has all the useful info you need, without all the over-complicated technical jargon

Pocket-sized is nice, but it's almost too small.

Amazing book all-around.

Perfect for all types of machinist/mechanical engineers and technologists.

Should make it slightly clearer that it is mechanical-based rather than “engineers” in general.

Great information in a compact format. Especially love the metallurgical information

Great information, well organized, easy to follow.

The spiral binding is a bit rough on the back cover. The ends of the wire rest in between the last page and the back outside cover, preventing the back cover from laying completely flat against the back pages when the book is closed.

Amazing book so much good information

Great information! Easy to read and nice format.

It has just what I need for my machine shop start up.

Absolutely a must have for any engineering workshop. Quick referencing speeds up job times thanks to the sticky tabs provided.

Handy size, plenty of information and sturdy construction.

Doesn’t come with drill angle gauge anymore like my previous book.
Also would like to see a Loctite chart incorporated into the next edition as I feel this would be super handy as well.
