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.

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.
