Engineers Black Book: Third Edition

September 22, 2021 By: Lane (Orange, Australia)

Comments
I had the pocket sized second edition throughout my apprenticeship and recently purchased the workbench third edition. Great quick reference guide for information not used daily. I dont know many tradies that dont have a black book in their toolbox!

Pros
The variety of information and the way is set out is great. Much faster then searching through varied results in google. The book creates a go to source of information for everyone.

Cons
Having the tightening torque specs within the book would really complete it.
 

A saving reference

Great for reference in all settings. Useful in shop and in lab for conversions and what not. Personally purchased for the drill bit references to have on hand.

Pros
Great Diagrams, lots of information, durable, well
Organized.

Cons
Self placed tabs were a little wonky, but that’s mostly my error. Look forward to buying the rest.

Engineers black book 3rd edition

September 1, 2021 By: Regan (Wellington, New Zealand)

Comments
Updated from my work out 2nd edition. Awesome product. Buy a copy for every apprentice who comes through.

Pros
All the info and more in one little book. Keep it in hands reach and your golden

Cons
Only con is the metric threading section is confusing vs the 2nd edition. Has a extra arrow for the angle on page 30, and doesn’t give you the thread depth (radial) unlike the 2nd edition.

All minor issues
 

The must get

September 1, 2021 By: Michael, HandyCard (London, United Kingdom)

Comments
I have a business were I deal with a lot of metal plates. Simulating the manufacturing process on CAM was frustrating since there was not enough tool bits on the software. Now that I have grabbed both of the tooling and fastener blackbook life has been much easier as it gives you visualisation and in depth information for each tool bit and its applications

Pros
Very in depth technical information

Cons
Wish it included information about modern (up to date) manufacturing practices like laser cutting, 3D printing e.t.c.
