Really holds your hand

This book really holds your hand when it comes to presenting the broad spectrum of modern tools that are available to the general public. Well written and covers all aspects of tool purchase including the purpose of various tools and what to look for in a quality tool. Was exactly what I was looking for!

Helps me make cost-effective choices

I bought this book so that I would be able to purchase tools as gifts for my husband without having to ask him what to buy. I figured that would spoil any surprises. I know next to nothing about what to look for when purchasing tools, so this book has been an invaluable reference for me. It has definitely helped me make smart purchases and saved me money because the author does an excellent job of explaining the pros and cons of different tool choices. He also discusses and what to look for when selecting particular tools, so you know exactly what you want befor you make any purchases. I highly recommend this book.
