Audel Mechanical Trades Pocket Manual (Audel Technical Trades Series)

There is a millwright book as well. Don’t be confused that is the text book, this is the companion pocket reference. Both are excellent resources. Both will help you become a better mechanic, but each has a little different purpose.

Great I use it at work for reference and is a wealth of information. Content is very similar to the NCCER millwright curriculum. In some chapters it gives even more information than the modules give. Great find, I recommend if you are a millwright.

This is a handy book to keep in your tool box. It contains over 500 pages of useful information for the maintenance, machinist and electrcian. It covers mechanical, electrical and isometric drawings, machine installation, torque specifications, different bearings, vibration, lubrication, belts, pumps, fans, elecrticity, AC motors, shop mathmatics, geometry and trigonometry. None of the subjects are given in great detail, but limited to key information. But Audel has other pocket guides dedicated to specific trades that should come in handy for a certain craft.

TY

I read this when I'm not a breakdown and find out all kinds of cool info. Great for a beginner and great for the man who forgets little stuff after years of experience.

If this fits in your pocket, then you have bigger pockets than i do. The writing is small for those of us with the eye squint thing going on. The book isn't targeted for metric users, but having said that, after 30 odd years in the trade, its still a good read, with the info you need on occasion. like it.

Good

Haven’t been in the maintenance field to long (4 years), books helpful and well written. Would recommend for basic maintenance, definitely will be keeping in my tool box.

Fantastic resource for an overview of the different aspects of mechanical trades.

It is a precious book for mechanics and engineers. Print quality is also good.

Must have

Great little book with loads of good info to help you out in a pinch

An absolute god send for simple little details that slip the mind and quick access to torque specs, TDS and drill rpm, etc.
