My old Zeus book on steroids!

May 30, 2025 By: Rodney Savage (Glen Waverley, Australia)

Comments
I'm amazed how much info you've been able to pack into this pocket reference...as I say it's my 1978 Zues pocket book on streroids

Pros
Lot's of up to date info with great illustrations

Cons
The font size is a bit challenging, but hey that's just old eyes...the old Zues book is barely legible by comparison. I'd like to see the larger version of your black book but Hare & Forbes don't seem to stock on the shelves...?

Th Engineers Black Book is a very comprehensive and well composed pocket guide. Almost any common information you might need is in day to day design and manufacturing is covered in the book and easily findable in the book.

Pros
Covers a large amount of information in a small, compact package. Information is actually relevant and useful.

Cons
There could be more fastener information regarding fasteners like nut-plates, rivets, rivnuts, hi-loks, etc.

Engineers Black Book - 3rd Edition (Metric)

May 17, 2025 By: Jon Carter (Blountville, United States)

Comments
Great resource for a great price, appreciated the labels.

Pros
Content of the Metric edition contains information in “Inches” as well.

Cons
Would have liked to have had more than 3 blank tabs, the fact that you provided include tabs to mark sections is already a cherry on top, but in a perfect world it would have been nice to have ten or more extra blank tabs to customize even book even more.

Engineers Black Book 3rd Edition well worth the price

April 28, 2025 By: Nathan White (San Diego, United States)

Comments
Excellent Book!!!

Pros
Full of useful information. I use this book every day for all the great information. From drill and tap sizes to turning insert identification. I use it every day in my shop. I ended up buying another copy to keep in my office, and another for a gift.

Cons
Te book could use a few more pages on high speed steel single point turning tool bits to show dimensions, a few examples, and a protractor for quick angle matching.

You have just replaced my (many!) copies of Machinery's Handbook. OK, not entirely- I still need the comprehensive work. But day to day, in my pocket, on the shop floor, the EBB is the go-to, right there, got it now reference.

Current, concise, and comprehensive enough.

There aren't any.
