Really good tool!

July 30, 2021 By: Daniel Langlois (Winter Haven, United States)

Comments
The book covers just about everything an electrician may have to "google" on the job, but doesn't require batteries or network connection

Pros
Well organized, the sticker tab page was a nice little surprise, like finding the toy at the bottom of the cereal box as a kid.

Cons
Paper a little thin, but to keep the book to pocket size, understandable.

Fantastic Book

July 12, 2021 By: Mark Bomboy, Oklahoma Historical Society (Newalla, United States)

Comments
This is a great book. I’m never quite sure what will come next with my job. So I’m always collecting reference books. This is a must have book if you’ll be doing anything electrical.

Pros
Everything is easily accessible. Personalization is simple with the included page tabs so you can find the pages you frequently use.

Cons
It could use a bit more info on circuits, like op amps and timers.
 

Good reference

June 29, 2021 By: Bryce Billing (Melbourne, Australia)

Comments
Good reference material

Pros
Great charts and reference material, references relevant sections of standards, seems to have everything you need

Cons
Could use a staggered index, rather than self applicated stickers which will get damaged.
Purchased in June 2021 and it still is not updated for new AS/NZS 3000:2018 standard, so all numbers need to be double checked, which is disappointing.

Plethora of knowledge

May 30, 2021 By: Barry Hann (San Jose, United States)

Comments
I have to say this book has shown me a bit of information I have not even thought about. But my opinion I would have added a few other topics, or it just Maybe a topic that would have its own book. Like the wire or cable casing materials, how to read the stamped code on the jacket. Possibly include pin-outs and bundle the color code identifications for wire/ cable and misc components.

Pros
All in all it's a outstanding put together book that puts a majority of Information one would need right in your palm.

Cons
As mentioned above, relating to my opinion.
