Terrific coverage of fastener history & types. It will take quite some time to absorb & utilize all the information contained in the book.

Pictures are helpful & information is plentiful. Table of contents is thorough and makes searches simple.

None so far.

I really like the factual and straight forward layout of the book


The grease proof pages and ring binder make it easy to open book right up

After purchasing the Engineer's Black Book, I'm excited to try out the Electrical Black Book.

This book has given me more confidence when buying bolts etc that I am buying the right product for the right job.

Easy to follow

Print difficult to read, especially with tied eyes.

An essential tool for every workshop.

Great for when working in both metric and inch standards

Excellent pocket reference for all things fasteners.

How could I have missed a book like this, its full of useful information, I wish I had it years ago, will probably buy the Engineers book also. Highly recommended.

Handy pocket size

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.

Great introductory book for people who are starting in the engineering industry

All relevant information needed to learn and understand all things to do with fasteners

None.

A great tool for helping new team members learn why fastener materials and sizes matter.

Tons of information

Index could use more depth

Handy guide
Great to have in your toolbox

Fits in your pocket

A must have for any one working with tools

All the info that I need
Handy size
easy to keep clean

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

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

None that I've identified so far

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.

-Well laid out
-Extensive guild of the none typical

-The most common is not easy to get to right off
-there is no direct SAE to Metric tables

Awesome product

Very handy and interesting! Good addition to any shop

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

Very well laid out, useful thread pitch card

None

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

Very well put together and informative.

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.

...great pocket reference book.

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

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.
