Great quick reference book. Much faster than looing thru the Machinery Handbook.
Pros
Well organized lots of illustrations
Cons
There were a few pages that had creases in them. You could tell they were done before it was bound, because you could not get them out due to the hole locations. It's not a huge issue, but not something I was expecting for the cost

I'am certainly no Trump supporter and find a lot of absolutly overrated US products taken pride of being american made.....BUT that said there is certain products which simply are world class! Every single of your black books I bought so far are prime examples for just that! Simply outstanding american world class product! Very happy with every single one of them!
Pros
- Extremely userfriendly
- super logical Layout
- Very well explained
- Pretty comprehensive considering the small handy size
- Love the bonus litte gauge in the pouch in the back of the book
To me simply a perfect example how workshop manuals should look like!
Cons
- It's not cheap but it's well worth the money! The only thing I can come up with maybe is that it could be made even more durable with a better ring binder
