This is a must for all sparkies, especially apprentices to have it nearby. I got given the engineers black book from an old friend and really like it, so I had a look online to see what else they had available and waited for the electrical edition to be released and bought it.

I liked it so much I bought the fasteners black book for myself and bought another copy of the electrical black book and sent it to my old mate! in return for what he 1st gave me.
I haven't spoken to him for a while, I hope he knows it was from me

It's easy to read/understand, has lots of information without going over the top e.g talking about the atoms and the molecular structure etc.), having the different sections make it good, the overall size is great, it's not like you have to carry a phone book around

I can't think of any or if I was to pick something minor probably about the sticky tabs, some can't be matched up with sections/chapters in the book or some sections/chapters don't have sticky tabs for them

Great books better than I was excepting
Every work shop should have them


Very detailed ,good for quick reference

The Three Books are Great
so much information
and easy to use best purchase for my tool box so far


Easy layout and easy to find information
good size to read and store

the electrical black book could use a little more information on DC voltage formulas for automotive trade people

Great book was a must have after the other 2 books

very detailed

need to get better reading glasses for the small wording

Great book.

Had it for 2 days and already used it to look up wire sizing recommendations.

Great reference book. I have the other two and when this came out I knew I had to have it. Each blackbook is a must have, and this is like the others. Well set out, quality paper and easy to read. Not being American the imperial can seem surplus, but that system is still lingering around and making a nuisance of itself. Can't wait to see what comes next. Good memory jogger. I haven't had a chance to fully utilitise it at work as I rarely encounter any electrical systems, but flicking through it is far more informative than my uni book for electrical

Easy to use, small, free multimeter

Binding like the other black books can be fragile and catch on pockets too

Great book, very handy and should be mandatory for all apprentices!
Only complaint is some of it's in imperial not metric (i.e steel conduit bending + other things) Maybe in the 2nd edition. But over all an outstanding bit of kit in the tool box for beginners & guru's. I bought 2! Would be great in an Android & iPhone app!

small, easy to understand, nice free multi-meter (keep that up!)

Some imperial references & measurements......Metric in Australia. But a great book!

Awesome little all in one reference! Would recommend to anybody in an electrical trade.

Great content for when you need to jog your memory on some things that you may infrequently do, but need to know.

Only minor quibbles.
*Perhaps a bit more info on AC theory, like RMS etc.
*The index tabs although quick to access most things might need a little more refinement in their placement, ie tools could be consolidated into basics and LED, Fiber optics and Data cabling could be split perhaps.

Excellent book, worth the wait. I have now purchased a second one.

Easy to use, perfect for the tool box.

None

Very useful reference book for the everyday electrician

Very well laid out, high quality

Indexing could have been little more detailed

The only issue i find is every one else wants to borrow it. Almost as helpful as a screw driver, no toolbox should be without one. I have purchased one for each of my employees in order to keep mine!!!!

All 3 books in the series are well thought out, and majorly useful

Cant make coffee

I did my trade in electrical South Africa and having this high quality and durable "Electrical Black Book" has put the Australian standards in an easy understandable perspective.


Have the right metric standard on hand and no reason to convert SI units from Imperial etc., …


Only having one book , .... :(

The perfect book for some of those little things you tend to forget.

All the information that is provided in the book is extremely relevent and is presented in a clear and organized format. Hats off to the black book team.

None

Everything you could ask for and more

you name it its in there. conduit bending covered. not sure what bulb that is covered. not sure on a receptacle covered. forgot how to wire a 3 or 4 way switch covered

missing kitchen sink

I love this book i am in electronics technology class at a career tech school and this eliminates the need to hunt through 3 different textbooks to find one thing

Tells me everything i need to know

None

An excellant purchase! Small enough to put in my bag for projects out of the shop but very durable.

Laminate pages are a plus,very informative,and handy! This book is a very welcomed addition to my tool box.

I havent found one yet.

Great book especially if you don't know electrical very well. Easy to learn information and laid out very well. Bought to assist in machine design and build. Exceeded my expectations on what I thought I was purchasing.

Compact, very useful, easy to read, lots of information including lots of helpful tables and explanations of various terms and theory's. Best part was the multimeter gift!

Spiral bounding can be crushed cause trouble turning pages, doesn't belong at the bottom of a tool bag...

I am a field engineer on a mine site. This reference is invaluable for the trades as well as engineers. I use this reference on site as well as at home to make projects easier.

Well put together, thorough, good binding, love the spiral bind so the book lays flat.

Handiest of all for non-electricians needing a quick reference on the go!

Pertinent information, quick and easy to access!

Absolutely none.

Great Content

Covers everything!

Bought 2 books some pages were delaminated.
