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.
All round great

The Ultimate Reference Book

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.
Fantastic book
