5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guide for the lineman/cableman, June 8, 2001
I used this book as a reference for a project I needed to do on splicing. I found the information contained was concise and clear. The book covers a wide variety of subjects that are very relevant to the jobs that a lineman and cableman would need to perform everyday.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, June 2, 2005
By 
Not a bad field guide but falls a little short on some subjects. The ones it does cover it does well but skips over some key topics. Every Line truck should have one, but keep a copy of the big book close.
