This book is a must have in a fabrication shop. It is handy to keep close by. Quick identification of a missing or broken fastener will get your job back on track in no time. Also great to have such a broad knowledge of fasteners in general. Very happy i purchased this book.

Fastener Black Book

Superb book, I've used the Machinery Hand Book for years; and whilst this is a good book it's not practical in a grubby workshop environment. This is where black book excells, it's small enough to fit in pocket, can be cleaned and can be laid flat when resting on a machine etc for reference
Pros
As above small enough to fit in pocket yet has all key info I routinely need, i love the fact it can be wiped down
Cons
None that I've identified so far
Awesome book, but missing One thing I needed

I have turned to this book many times. The only thing missing is a direct SAE to Metric table. It is sort of there with the drill tables and so on, but I really most of the time just need a list of all of each and relation in size.
Pros
-Well laid out
-Extensive guild of the none typical
Cons
-The most common is not easy to get to right off
-there is no direct SAE to Metric tables

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
