This pocket manual is rated next to pocket manual such as ugly's although the diagrams and some of the text could be larger, it is the best pocket reference manual i have seen. It has stuff that ugly's do'nt have but that does not stop the rest of the dynamic information from being clear and consise. It could have more NEC references and such items such as pipe bending angles and various area formula's in the next printing though. But all said and done it is the new reference in my back pocket from now on and as a student this quick reference is very vital

This is one of the best pocket reference book that I have bought so far. Plenty of information on how to read digital electrical meters and their meaning. (main reason for purchasing this book). Lots of diagram that shows in detail about high and low voltage outlets and prongs. I only wish that the letters were a little bigger. My eyesight is not so good.

Outdated, small, unclear drawings

About half this book is "This is a drill. This is a drill bit. This is a screwdriver"
A quarter is charts and tables you will never use or be able to match equipment to. I'm an industrial electrician apprentice, and I doubt I'll ever use these pages, which were meant for people in my specialty.
The drawings are pre-1989 era (the date on this book), and therefore have old pre-CAD drawings...you can't tell what is a wire and what is pointing to a wire, so you have no idea what is labeled what...is that a blue wire? Is that a pointer? Why are two wires labeled with different colors? All line drawings, and few things that are educational.
Why does a REFERENCE book tell me what a screwdriver is? Who doesnt know that? Theres also many things lacking, such as modern Lock Out Tag Out procedures.
I'm glad I only paid a few dollars for this book; if I had paid even half the cover price, I would have been sick.
By far the most useless book in my employment library.
