Though it's twenty years old, this book is still one of the first I pull off the shelf to look up something. Most recently, I used it's chart on jig saw blades (it was still called a saber saw then). Though there are new versions of tools with features not covered here, this is one of the most useful books in my shop library.
Others feel the same - my son made off with my first copy; my son-in-law has my second copy; the third copy is now in the hands of the carpenter who did some remodeling for us. I'm keeping the fourth one!
It only costs a few pennies used (plus postage), so it isn't a big investment and you'll get much more than your money's worth.
