More Power To Your Elbow,
By David A E Plater (Peterborough, Cambridgeshire England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Popular Science Complete Book of Power Tools (Hardcover)
Okay,so like me a few weeks before Christmas you marked up all the power tools you'd like in a trade catalogue and left it lying around the house. Again, if you were lucky like me, you got most of them!! Herewith the first problem, how do I use them? Most of them I only felt at ease with plugging in to the nearest socket without switching on. I searched high and low for publications for each tool particularly aimed at the beginner but with no success. If you're in the same boat then this book is for YOU. Covering stationary and portable power tools displayed in easy to read sections full of advice on use and safety, all liberally doused with photographs and illustrations. Even for the more accomplished among us I can see this book being a valuable reference source. It is in itself "a TOOL without a motor" but nonetheless full of "the POWER of knowledge".

Power Woodworking Tools,
By A Customer
This review is from: Popular Science Complete Book of Power Tools (Hardcover)
I think this is an excellant book for someone who wishes to know if woodworking is for him/her. I have purchased several more specific books , such as routers and their applications, but this book (which was a birthday present), provides a broad overview for someone who wants to know the basics of a tool which will be enough to get him/her started. . . If only Amazon.com would bring the price down, I would send it to friends & family. . . In my dreams. . .

This is a valuable book for any woodworker or DIYer to have. It discribes both portable and table power tools and gives you information about how they are used and what they are used for. It was a best buy.
