Superb Reference

June 19, 2021 By: Kevin D (Mostyn, United Kingdom)

Comments
Excellent reference book, used frequently when 3d modelling to determine fastener dimensions.

Pros
Very well laid out, useful thread pitch card

Cons
None
 

Plethora of knowledge

June 5, 2021 By: Barry H (San Jose, United States)

Comments
First edition has vast amounts of information from hardware dimensions, ISO standards, identification. Covers inch, but mostly focused on metric.

Pros
Very well put together and informative.

Cons
The thread pitch card isn't punched out all the way, smaller threads you have to use your judgment.

Wish there was more 50/50 split of inch and metric.
 

the best pocket reference book

...great pocket reference book.

Pros
...easier than dragging around a machinist textbook. great for the trades, especially for professional maintenance mechanics. also small and compact for portable transfer.

Cons
the one thing i noticed that was missing from the book were types of glazing point fasteners for window panes. also i noticed cut nails were not listed. first edition.
