They often save me time and prevent potential mistakes, which is crucial when working on DIY projects. The illustrations and diagrams are clear, aiding my understanding of more complex tasks.One minor downside is that the book could benefit from a more detailed index to quickly find specific topics.

It has become a staple in my toolkit, and I would highly recommend it to fellow DIYers looking for a reliable and portable reference guide.

I got this as a travel supplement for my two copies of Machinery's Handbook that I have at my home and business offices respectively. Seems good so far, but I have not used it as in depth as Machinery's. I decided on this edition as the Pocket Ref is more overlapping with my existing texts while this has more code information for homeowners.

all topics in a little book.

Good

Handyman In-Your-Pocket, is a nice general information reference tool that will be nice to have in my took box. Has toms of mechanical, electrical , plumming, general science, schematic symbols, adhesives, gear / pulley ratios and much more. Be advised the font size is on the small size. Older folks with tired eyes may need to add a 6" pocket magnifier to their kit. Still.... a good addition for my tool box.

Remember those geometry formulas from high school? Well this one has them in a small reference. These are especially useful for woodworking and other wood items that are cut. It is chocked full of things that would take many reference books to contain. Overall well worth the money.However, what was not worth the money was the shipping charges since I had purchased several other books in this order. Recommend the book. The store should review their shipping charges.

Jack of all trades bible right here. Great carry sized reference book.

It's pretty handy, some of the information in it is quite useful, such as abrasives and the sections devoted to each respective area, wood, pipes, tools, etc. It does go into great detail and seems to be done in a comprehensive and organized manner. But aside from the occasional glancing at it to double-check something, or brush up on an idea, I don't think it has much use beyond that.

A la lecture du livre, les mesures sont impériales ce qui veut ire que c'est quand même à destination des clients anglo-saxons.Peu ou pas utilisables pour nous autres qui travaillons en métrique...

Book contains a ton of reference charts to give information on topics like insulation, load values, and strength of various bolts, nails, and fasteners. No code information at all, just actual strength tables based on types of construction. Still an amazing resource to have with you while planning a build!

Prodotto valido e ad un prezzo veramente buono. Unico neo: sarebbe ora che venisse tradotto anche in altre lingue vista la sua diffusione

Geared more for carpentry than for everything, this book is not as much like a hitchhikers guide to the universe as the pocket and Desk references that it was gleaned from.

Just say how big wood is.
