Indispensable workshop reference

Comments
Excellent reference for the workshop, offering a wealth of handy information - both for beginners and the pros
Pros
Well designed, high quality paper, handy size, spiral bound (stays open on the desk), well thought out
Cons
As others mentioned, perhaps quick access tabs or something similar might make it easier to find sections you need quickly. Also, a hex (Allen) key chart for appropriate socket head screws/bolts might be useful (similar to spanner selection chart).
Very Handy

Comments
Very handy to have all the knowledge at you hands and can stay in your pocket
Pros
Very nice that the book has been carefully designed to be you in the dirty workshop and out in the field, that the pages are glare, grease, and tear proof. Big thumbs up.
Cons
Takes a little bit of time to find what you need, maybe some cut out tabs on the edge of the pages to mark out key sections of the book for quick access

Excellent!!
Pros
Excellent resource! As a first year apprentice mechanical fitter I have found the content invaluable.
Cons
Unfortunately, if you don't know what you're looking for, the book is extremely hard to navigate! The index is all over the place, same content in an alphabetically categorized order would be ideal!
Happy this was required for class
