This book gives a great overview, tool by tool, of what to look for when your in the market for a new power tool. It explains the terminology used in specs, reviews features that are useful, and gives you thoughts to consider when comparing different models. It does NOT make editor's recommendations, or recommend specific brands or models.

Update: Once the vendor understood the problem, they immediately refunded me half the incredibly low price which I appreciated despite the refund being less than the price of a cup of coffee these days. I most appreciated the vendor acknowledging the problem and acting upon it, no matter how little the product cost.

Original problem: Vendor Listed NEW copy of book. I ordered the NEW copy. The packing slip said NEW, but there was a hand-written notation saying "USED - LIKE NEW" below the order for NEW. The book I received was used. I'm disappointed that this vendor did not deliver the goods as advertised, purchased and expected. I've communicated this information to vendor twice. 1st response indicated that they did not understand the problem from my 1st email.

It has to be tough to be in this business, dealing with different publications of new, used, out of publication books and everything in-between.
