It is absolutely incredible the sheer scale of detail crammed into one small Black Book, I couldn’t recommend it anymore. If you have anything to do with engineering or manufacturing it is an absolute necessity.

Pros
The information provided is absolutely extraordinary and the laminated pages means it can survive in a workshop environment.

Cons
N/A

A GREAT quick easy to use reference. Thanks for the invaluable tool.

Pros
Quality, ease of use,paper coatings.


Cons
None, but I was dissapointed when my book came from KBC Tools and the Drill Gage was not included as advertised by KBC. Turns out they were advertising 2nd edition and shipping new 3rd edition which is no longer supplied with Drill Gage. Still glad I recieved the 3rd edition:)
