JUST THE JOB (2)

Comments
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...

EBB Apprentice

July 6, 2016 By: Melanie, Aurizon Operations Ltd (Bucasia, Australia)

This will be a great asset to my apprenticeship. A variety of helpful information in one place is going to save me a lot of time on researching and will provide means to teach myself some basics so that when I'm being trained/mentored, I'll be able to better understand.

Pros
Indestructible design

Would like to see a section on welding and perhaps forging
An automotive version of this book would be fantastic
