Black book

Comments
Great book

 

Even better than expected.

May 9, 2017 By: Jason Anderson, C6 MFG (Cornelius, United States)

Comments
Love the paper, spiral binding, and colors! Has even more information about machining than I expected.

Pros
Longtime Machinery Handbook user but this book feels so much more durable and convenient.

Cons
Not really a con...more of a suggestion. As a self taught engineer/designer/maker I would love a book that has a bit of the electrical, fasteners, threads, and machining all in one small book. A "Makers" book....doesn't have to be too in depth just cover the standard info required/encountered when prototyping projects (i.e. the places I have tabbed in my Machinery Handbook for years).

The Black Book

May 4, 2017 By: Tino, Baiardo (Midland, Australia)

Comments
Most of the information you'll need in one handy pocket guide

Pros
Lots of handy information, fantastic

Cons
None other than it would be great if u could increase the font size by at least 1 point, for aging eyes. That way I dont need to scramble round looking for reading glasses

This is my "go to" book! Excellent quality, easy to find the information you are looking for.

Pros
Sturdy, easy to read, lots of information packed into a nicely sized book.

Blackbook Review

April 18, 2017 By: Dylan (Regina , Canada)

Comments
Good product

Pros
Insanely helpful, book is small but loaded with useful information. Use this multiple times weekly and it was worth the money. Useful drill point gage inclided as well. Small and fits right in your pocket.

Cons
Books backing and cover are somewhat flimsy and fall off the coils
