An excellent, concise workshop companion. Highly Recommended.
Pros
Well made with protected pages. Insert info is very welcome.
Cons
Would like to see a section on multi-groove drive belts, square form threads and basic welding info. A protective over-sleeve will help protect it long term.
Excellent reference always there for you...
