My 23 year old is super into antique tools, blacksmithing, woodworking, etc...
He LOVED this book at Christmas. Every week he does a "Cool Tool Tuesday" post on his FB/Insta account, and he says this book will be super helpful to him!

I have actually purchased two copies as I gave away my first copy to a fellow woodworker and promptly repurchased a new copy for myself. If you can't find a tool in here, it must be something ultra rare as this is a very complete book. I will always keep a copy of it in my library and recommend it to the tool collector and hand tool enthusiast alike.

The information provided is very good. Unfortunately, the pictures, many of them, look like photocopies of photocopies of photocopies. With that said, I love that I can look at a picture of what I'm holding and know everything I need to know about it. It's a little heavy, but great to keep in your car when you go to auctions or garage sales.

so many old tools
Reviewed in Canada on March 6, 2019Verified Purchase
have you ever said "hey, I would totally read a book filled with pictures and stories of old tools"? If so, this book is not for you. Ok, it's totally for you. In fact, it's so you that you should just buy it right now so you can start learning about obscure and old-timey tools

Purchased for my husband, who loves old tools and can now identify some of the more obscure specimens that he finds at yard sales and pawn shops. :)

Best book on antique tools I've seen
Reviewed in Canada on September 4, 2013Verified Purchase
Very impressive book on antique tools.
Every type of tool i've ever seen is in this book, with plenty of illustrations.
It contains the correct name, description and use for each tool.
For a general knowledge af antique tools in only one book
this is the one reference book to get. Very satisfied with my
purchase.
