Excellent book with lots of information
Pros
I like the way it is laid out. A lot of information in small print .
Cons
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

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.

Perfect companion - pretty much better than Google searches, more accurate and trustworthy too.
Pros
Consistant layout makes it easy to find the information you need, quickly. It is all there for what we use it for.
Cons
After finding the right fastner in the book, it can sometimes be tricky to find the actual fastner at the local fastner supplier.

Handy book, decent format.
Pros
Page composition better than plain paper. Good content volume.
Cons
Would be better with section tabs (like Electrical Black Book has). Thread gage would be better with fine threads actually cut instead of simply pictured.

More time engineering, less time in the phone or wading through 10 manuals. I use it and I trust it!
Pros
Lets everyone be self reliant and confident in their work - all the specs are right there in their (our) greasy hands!
Cons
Would have liked some quantitative date on thread sealing, adhesives and anti-seizing compounds.
