August 4, 2020 By: Chris (Apeldoorn, Netherlands)

Very useful addition to the home workshop

August 4, 2020 By: Mark Young (Thame, United Kingdom)

Comments
It has all of the information I need on a daily basis without having something as big and unwieldy as the full machinists handbook

Pros
Its size and weight mean that I have it with me all of the time. The laminated pages that are easier to clean.

Cons
You can't have all of the information in a book of this size, it is an EDC, like a scale or multi-tool - its not supposed to do everything.

Black Book Metric Large Edition review

July 8, 2020 By: Peter Cunningham (St Helena, Australia)

Comments
Large Print Metric edition is very easy to read.

Pros
The lay flat binding is s great feature.

Cons
I would pay extra, for a thicker clear contact covering as an option when ordering.
What about a PDF version. My old Machinerys Handbook is very unused now, and very jealous.
