True to the description, this little book is packed with information and stands up to rough environments.

Well-organized, easy to read

I have been looking for this type of book for years. I find these collections of seemingly random information to be quite useful. Being a farmer, I am often at a loss for the exact terminology of certain things. Usually, there is some slang or jargon for a particular item or process, which does not translate well when one is searching online for a certain product. The information in this work will no doubt eliminate much confusion.

Excellent size to carry around, yet large enough to be legible. The grease resistant pages are very nice. For once, I don't have to be afraid of getting my books a little dirty.

I can think of no drawbacks to this book, at the time of this review. Nor can I think of any additional information that could be added.

Perfect guide for engineers

Comprehensive and easy to read guide for engineers from all backgrounds.

Information on plastic injection molding tools would be a good addition to the book.

Contains 99% of the information you'll ever need.
Great tool to reference when learning.

Pages don't wear out.
Great tables and easy to find what you're looking for.

Print can be hard to read, can always but the larger book if needed.

Very useful for mechanical engineering

Easy to navigate

Small print in some areas

I have used this book since the first edition. Very useful books, definitely recommend to all trades.

A great book to have!

The seemingly indestructable nature of the paper of this book is fantastic. I am very hard on books and this has survived several years of being subjected to me.

The book is small, making some of the print a little hard to read, but the size is also one of the positives, it's pocket sized, so...

Great book with plenty of useful information

Really handy for me while completing boily apprenticeship

Easy reference

Possibly some information on tig welding would be convenient

I've been looking forward to obtaining a copy of this book from the moment I knew of it's existence. It lives up to the expectations. From the quick referencing of formulae and tolerances to the grading of steels and their compositions.

The whole book is a pro

Great book

Lots of information

Wish they had speeds and feeds of inserts for machining

Great information,wish I had this years ago

Easy to navigate

Great little book

Small pocket sized

None

This is hands down the best quick reference guide I could find as a student in Mechanical Engineering. This is so useful for engineers, machinists, and fabricators. I'll be looking at the other black books to supplement this.

Well made, saves trying to google stuff on phone in work shop and navigate the dross

Good size

Pages need guide marks for index tabs

This book was fantastic as a reference book for me to complete my studies as an engineer. And became a cruitical tool in the toolbox as I manufactured and restored cars and equipment.

Very easy to read layout

Great read and full of very usable and easy to dissect

Great useful information

None

Great book easy to read

Easy to read, well set-out

Sturdy, well designed, tons of information.

Great illustrations, excellent content, must have book.

Pages stick on the binding.

quite handy to have in the shop.

Has stuff that Google won't find any more (the GOOG has become a land of clickbait and embedded ads; too many sites now make you create an account just to see something as simple as a tap drill table - this book is all meat and no adverts.

Could use a G-code summary, copper wire ampacity, and polar graph paper and log graph paper pages
