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.

Very useful as a reference for both design and manufacture work

The reference tabs are great with their customisable arrangement

Some more bolt reference info could be helpful

Excellent trade books to have already upgraded to latest versions

Threading information

None

Very handy book. Has a ton of information. Pages are laminated so it is shop proof.

Charts and conversions

None

Amazing, everything you need.

A lot of thought and effort went into making this item Shop Proof, and it is truly appreciated!

Great book has everything I need in it

The amount of detail

None

Overall the pocket edition is a good guide. The pages are laminated and it's small, so I can keep it handy in my shop. I use the drill & tapping size charts the most. I just wish it had a pre-reaming drill chart.

Laminated; handy size; lots of useful information

No pre-reaming drill size chart

Excellent book in a great size for quick workshop decisions and for referencing in part design.

Layout, size, depth

More bolt info would be good (rather than buying fastener book)

A lot of great information in a very well-made book.
