I bought this book from a local supply shop, am very impressed with it. There's a lot of valuable info crammed into a small package.

Has all the useful info you need, without all the over-complicated technical jargon

Pocket-sized is nice, but it's almost too small.

Amazing book all-around.

Perfect for all types of machinist/mechanical engineers and technologists.

Should make it slightly clearer that it is mechanical-based rather than “engineers” in general.

Great information in a compact format. Especially love the metallurgical information

Great information, well organized, easy to follow.

The spiral binding is a bit rough on the back cover. The ends of the wire rest in between the last page and the back outside cover, preventing the back cover from laying completely flat against the back pages when the book is closed.

Amazing book so much good information

Great information! Easy to read and nice format.

It has just what I need for my machine shop start up.

Absolutely a must have for any engineering workshop. Quick referencing speeds up job times thanks to the sticky tabs provided.

Handy size, plenty of information and sturdy construction.

Doesn’t come with drill angle gauge anymore like my previous book.
Also would like to see a Loctite chart incorporated into the next edition as I feel this would be super handy as well.

Very useful as a reference for both design and manufacture work

The reference tabs are great with their customisable arrangement

Some more bolt reference info could be helpful

Excellent trade books to have already upgraded to latest versions

Threading information

None

Very handy book. Has a ton of information. Pages are laminated so it is shop proof.

Charts and conversions

None

Amazing, everything you need.

A lot of thought and effort went into making this item Shop Proof, and it is truly appreciated!

Great book has everything I need in it

The amount of detail

None

Overall the pocket edition is a good guide. The pages are laminated and it's small, so I can keep it handy in my shop. I use the drill & tapping size charts the most. I just wish it had a pre-reaming drill chart.

Laminated; handy size; lots of useful information

No pre-reaming drill size chart

Excellent book in a great size for quick workshop decisions and for referencing in part design.

Layout, size, depth

More bolt info would be good (rather than buying fastener book)

A lot of great information in a very well-made book.

Speedy delivery

Awesome reference guide - really helpful in the field and the Matt laminated pages really assist with durability

As an engineer I find it full of excellent quick reference info whether at the desk or in the workshop .

Broad variety of info. Has standards referenced on most things and includes less common thread info etc.

Doesn't have premachine diameter for external threading with a die, or the formula.

Great book to use in my trade

Handy quick information on the go
Access to updated info via website
Easy to read and use

Need more room for notes

Fantastic book! So much information in this small book and easy to use.

Loads of useful information but small and compact for travel.

Labels could be a little bit better.

Full of info I didn't know to even look for.

Great quick reference information. Pages feel like they will last.

Doesnt include the drill fish anymore. (3rd addition)
