Fastener Black book

August 17, 2015 By: Rick Fischer, Private (Noosa, Australia)

Comments
Book is fine. However, it does not contain obsolete BS head strength and material marking and nor current equivalents.

In addition I have received no reply from the Australian web site \"mail\" regarding the complaint of the \"too small\" binder

Pros
Format and material good.

Cons
The ring binder is too small for the pages contained, whereas engineeer\'s is fine; Both use the same dia ring binder

August 18, 2015 Response from: Hi Impact Supplies

Hi Rick,

We apologize but we did not receive your email. If you would like to resend it to sales@fbb-usa.com, we will respond immediately.

As for the wiro binding size, the Engineers Black Book has a smaller size wiro that would just not fit on any of our Fastener Black Books. We are limited by the standard wiro sizes available on the market and we agree that the FBB 1st Edition wiro is close to being full with pages. We are actively looking for in between sizes and will move to them as soon as available.

Thank you for leaving a review.

Pros

Tear proof pages (I already ripped one) crud!!!

July 26, 2015 Response from: Hi Impact Supplies

Thank you for purchasing the Fastener Black Book and for leaving a review.

We were surprised to hear that you managed to tear a page. We are curious, but is it possible for you to send us a picture of it?

Can we ask how you were able to tear it?
