Great Book
Pros
Nicely formatted data
Cons
Need this exact book in a larger page size, such as 8 1/2 x 11. My eyes are getting too old to read small print even with glasses. Enlarging the pages would help a lot. Having it in a 3 ring loose leaf binder format I can use at my deask would be perfect.
Excellent book

Pros
Concise and useful information well presented.
Cons
None so far.
Black Book Fastener and engineering
January 2, 2017
By: Ernie Noa, -- (Monticello, United States)
Comments
I have both the Fastener and the engineers Black book Code GRA388 and 394TWN. Both are great additions to my work shop. I like the size and the general layout. I was surprised to see information about BA fasteners as this seems to be left out of most US publications. The only thing I did not see was a Dividing head chart for a 60:1 gear ratio. It may be that my diving head is just not normal. Also I like the metal gauges that are included in both books. I would love to have the drill taping chart that is noted at the end of the fastener book. Thanks for publishing these. I will be sure to mention them in a newsletter I do for the Mid-West G1MRA group.
Pros
Nice size, Metal gauge
Cons
The only thing I did not see was a Dividing head chart for a 60:1 gear ratio

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

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.
