Most useful tool in the shop!

I love that i can just wipe down this book and how quick it is to find what you need and find all conversations in seconds. Going to have to get a pocket sized one so always have one on hand, I reckon the other books would be just as helpful in there respective fields.

Not buying it sooner! Cannot fault this book!

Wish id brought this book sooner been struggling with the normal small engineers book and decided to buy this and absolutely amazed at how helpful it's been will definitely be buying the other books in the range and can't recommend it enough

Decent size not to big but not to small either everything is easy to find especially with the helpful tabs nice clear print decent quality paper not filmsy normal paper

Would like there to be a sheet you can put on the pages to just protect them if you leave it open on a page

Really enjoy it very informative

easy refrencing

not much on gearing

Great book to have in a manufacturing shop. Really provides a lot of information for anything you are looking for to create parts.

Good size of book and pages do feel of good quality and durability.

Great Book, it has everything plus more then I expected

It comes with Oring chart and breakdown of workshop metals

I seriously cannot fault it

I found it really useful in the machine shop and design department it saved me time by having all the information I needed stored easily in one place

I have never seen a resource so packed full of information.

I was given the second edition when I started working civil at Laing O’Rourke in Newcastle. Those that have know! Brilliant book, my first one still intact apart from the front cover which needs a little bit of repair, I was more than happy to pay the hundred dollars to get the second one. I hope Pat Raff as an understudy or someone who trust to take over the publishing of this book on a regular basis. I also have the fastener book that I’m looking at the other books referenced although in my pocket size they are too small to see what these other books are

Size and durability with the exception of the front cover. The ability allows it to go anywhere. Never be more than links away (900m) for me.

If I was to be nitpicky, I would say that the data used in the adult physical dimensions section takes into account part of the world with extremely short people. I am 6’4 and I would say I’m not a part of the 95th %

Very handy

Easily handled

It is an amazing book to keep on your person, I often find it more helpful than my phone when I cannot think of the right terminology to look up specifics

The layout of the book is absolutely amazing, easy to read, easy to find what you’re looking for and the fact that they make it durable and tough for the actual work environment and not just an office space is amazing

The adhesive tabs I found did not stick all to well, but the table of contents is so good that you don’t really need them

Great price for the amount of knowledge contained within the book, i end up using it constantly throughout tafe and my work place

Great pricing, easily understandable and great amount of knowledge end up using it constantly

The third edition doesn’t contain the aluminium gauge in the back of the book as the older editions did, other than that its the best tool ive bought

Amazing book, especially while learning and studying

Has all the information in it that you need I can quickly be identified

No downside to this book it’s all positive

I use it most days and love it.

Lots of information that I need and I keep it in my pocket.

I haven't attached all the tabs yet because sometimes it's difficult to decide what page to put them on.

A good companion for the machinist handbook.

Well organized, huge amount of data, and very well made.

None so far.

Awesome Book for helping with mechanical work. As a tradesman its a great way for me to check things my knowledge slips on.

Compact, thorough

None.

A really awesome tool. High print quality, I got the work bench version and its so easy to read, I used the provided tabs to mark all the areas I use. Really good stuff in here. If you're a machinist, toolmaker or engineer I highly recommend.

Well organized, pre printed tabs, huge amount of data, 2 sizes offered

Dense, not really a con but it is dense

Best book to have in your tool box to refer to, great tool for an apprentice or a tradesman that needs to quickly remember a formula etc

Easy to use

Nil

A legendary publication packed full of lifetime of knowledge

Compact and concise

None

An invaluable asset for new and experienced engineering students and tradesmen, whether you're just starting out or 10 years into your career like me, this book comes in handy extensively and pays for itself many times over.

Informative, and easy to understand.

I can't really think of any.

Always handy, useful multiple times a week even for clowns like me

Very solid construction, as good as spiral bound paper gets

Provided optional adhesive tabs are a bit crap, better off without.
