pretty nifty

Comments
I like this book very much. The laminated, matt finish pages are really nice. Text could be little bigger, but i guess thats a limitation of pocket size books. Not too sure about the wire binding tough. Im thinking it has been selected to make the book easier to flip through and to stay open and flat on the table, and it works very well for those purposes. But it also makes it easier to damage the pages and binding, especially when carrying it in pockets as intented. Overall tough, a very positive experience!

Indispensable workshop reference

June 7, 2017 By: Denis Pleic, Advisum (Varazdin, Croatia)

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

June 6, 2017 By: Jordan (Nagambie , Australia)

Comments
Very handy reference book, I use it more often than I thought I would. Always keep it in the glovebox of my work van.

Pros
Easy to read and understand

Cons
Would be nice to have a section on brazing and welding (rods, fluxes etc)
 

Life Easier

June 5, 2017 By: Robert Gibson (Hamilton , New Zealand)

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
