Popular Mechanics The Ultimate Tool Book: Every Tool You Need to Own

I learned a lot. Very easy to read for a new DIY person. The projects are practical and attractive. Farmhouse table plan could be a future project.

This book is just a list of basic tools. It doesn't really contain anything new or interesting for me, maybe this is for children. I should have returned it.

My husband bought this and bought one for his nephew but it was a bit simple for what he wanted.

Comprehensive book

Do you need to know what an extension cord is, or a hammer? Maybe you're not sure what a ladder or safety glasses or tape is used for? What could that be, a table saw? Wow not sure what that might be used for. The first third of the book, before I stopped reading, was a list of basic tools you might teach your 5 year old along with Thomas the tank engine. Total waste of time and money. Shame on you Popular mechanics, AI could have wrote this garbage.

This book is written for the bargain bin at Barnes and Noble for a 8 year old child to buy his Craftsman father for Christmas. There is very basic information, and if you've worked with toos or are a handy man you will find 0 new info here. They should have made the pictures half the size and included a few pages on each tool covered and also removed the dumb projects section.

Absolute waste of time. No real info.

It has a good list of tools to cover but doesn't tell you much about any of them, doesn't tell much about what to look for in a good one, very short coverage of each tool. Might be a good book to go over with a child.
