Super useful

Practically all you need for day to day use in a lie flat oil resistant little gem. Combines a host of essential information from many sources in to one compact book

Could do with some more collet info, not just ER

Great very useful & easy to use. Oh I wish I had had this book 30 years ago!

What a fantastic book I've used other reference books in the past but this has to be the best

It lays flat on the page you are using
Easy to find what's you are looking for


My book was poorly packaged by my supplier msc and was packed with some abrasive wheels which have damaged the front cover not your fault but the cover could do with being a little tougher

I was very excited as I had this book in my hands. It is actually overwhelm my expectations.
This book is not only good for looking up values it also has an entertaining aspect.
I have currently no use for it in the workshop as I still am setting the workshop up but just reading it was very interesting. Learned a lot of new stuff.
The design and choice of materials is perfect.

I really love this book and will probably also purchase some of the others.

Binding - no annoying dirty tricks to keep the book open when working and looking up at the same time.
Paper - laminated. I really had to take several looks at it before realizing that it is laminated. Feel like plain paper. Repells grease and dirty and maybe even better: it is tear proof.
Content - very much different stuff and very detailed. I LOVE it!
Detailed content. e.g. Part numbers, DIN ISO and other norms listed.
Formulae - stuff I haven't seen or used for ages but also tables.
Drill point sharpening gauge - probably the most useful you could put along with this book.
Really compact. In size and content. Absolutely convenient and useful.
Very nicely illustrated.

- The pouch where the gauge is stored was already defective upon receipt but I could until now not make up a better solution.
- Rather small letter size. I have to take of my glasses to read it. May be my personal problem, have to check my eyes :) The letter size was chosen in favour to the book size to keep it tiny so I am fine with it.
- At least for Europe. The list of distributors is totally out dated. Actually is only a company in the UK distributing the book and they do it in the rip-off style. Taking more than 3 times (!!!) higher price plus shipment. So it would cost more than 80$.
So I decided to wait 1,5 month and ordered it in the states.

Small but great.

Very complete

I don't like the binding.

Really handy little book.

99% relevant information for day to day tasks is there in your pocket. Highly recommended.

Packed with great pictures and detailed yet brief instructions.

Tough, Small, Greaseproof

Very useful book. Originally purchased for the carbide insert into but much more useful info.

Very handy easy to read lots of useful information.

Loads on handy information. Great quality printed and touch.

I should have purchased two, One to keep clean in the house and one for the workshop.

Excellent reference book

Very easy to understand

None

Excellent reference in a small, useable format.

More useful information at your fingertips than constantly going online.

Minor. For an old feller the writing gets a tad small on some. But nothing wearing my readers can't fix.

Good investment

Easy to use

Mainly contains machining information.

Very well laid out, easy to read, great topics. Great contrast to Machinery's Handbook which is hard to use and difficult to find info. I think this will get a lot of use. I've had it a day and already used it. I can find info in it quicker than the internet most of the time.

Good selection of information, relevant to most users. Great layout and I love the use of colors to highlight information and make it easier to read, especially for those of us that are getting older.

There will always be information that is not in it, due to it's scope.

Great book lots of info. perfect for my workshop

very well presented layout and design

Love the book, very well made - packed with great information. A perfect addition for our workshop.

The books small size makes it great to take anywhere. The information is very clean and easy to read. The book has been organized well with the information easy to find. Great book for any workshop! - love it

Very useful book. Used daily in mechanical design work.

Good size, lay-flat design, lots of info.

Lacking circlip standards but that may be a bit too much of a specialty topic.

Great information

Nicely laid out and easy to use

Just one vital piece of information missing surface cutting speeds for various materials using different tools ie mills lathe hss carbide inserts etc you have the conversion table great but which cutting speed to choose for a particular diameter?

The easiest to use, accurate engineering reference available at a sensible price.

Cleanable, ideal for use on the bench.

Not a single problem with this, does exactly what it's designed too!

No book is better for everyday quick references on the job. This is the go too. Fits easily in the back pocket of my jeans.

- Fits in my pocket
- Easy to read
- Durable

Very handy reference guide

lots of pictures/diagrams. durable construction. well organized. easy to pick out information

limited field of information. mostly applicable to a machine shop
