Pocket size reference book.
from Amazon.com Product Description Finally, THE building and maintenance reference book you have been looking for...... information galore! An amazing new shirt pocket reference designed specifically for handymen, maintenance people, engineers, scientists, industrial workers, contractors, and builders. It contains 768 pages of facts, tables, and vital information AND it fits in your shirt pocket!
A great little reference book containing a lot of information. Has a ton of useful tables. Trig,friction loss in pipes,rafter spans, chain strength and weight,wire carrying capacities, you get the idea...
This book has everything from anchors to zinc sheet gauge. The only shortcoming in my opinion is that it does not cover larger fasteners, sometimes I do need to know what size pilot hole to drill for a 3/4" lag, other than that I would definitely recommend this book.
Reasons for less than perfect score
Presentation- small print, I guess that is to be expected in a pocket size book.
Quality- This is a paperback book, as such it ends up dog eared in rather short order, if you use it on site much. I would be willing to pay more for a leather bound edition.
