Fastener Black Book

February 7, 2018 By: Brady, Surge Custom Fabrication Studio (California, United States)

Comments
incredibly full of valuable information regarding fasteners SAE as well as Metric.

Pros
Hard to remember is easy to find in this book

Cons
Book is small enough to fit in my back pocket, which may be a pro for most however its a con for me as it is surely going to become a destroyed mess in no time from sitting on it and pulling it out from my pocket so much. i should have bought 2-3.
 

Fastener Black Book is Great!

This book is packed with information, it is very complete and particularly useful with the metric data included.
We are using it as our standard reference for all things hardware.

Pros
lots of info, very good reference

Cons
make it available in PDF. makes it way easier to find the info by simply using the search tools available in most PDF readers!!

Excellent book with lots of information

Pros
I like the way it is laid out. A lot of information in small print .

Would be nice if sections were or had tabbed some of the torque specs need referenced as to what they are ie: lbs.in or lbs.ft
 

Black book review

December 18, 2017 By: Must have, Retired auto engineer (Bay Village, Australia)

Comments
Should have had this 60 years ago

Pros
Very wide range materials and sizes covering most engineers requirements.

Cons
Because of my age the print is too small on some pages but because of the restraints of publishing to produce a compact publication I understand this.
