Garage and Workshop Gear Guide

Description

This guide is a one-stop resource for garage gear know-how - one book that amateur and expert alike can go to for the facts (and a good helping of expert advice) on selecting tools without breaking the bank or wasting time. The book also offers straightforward, honest advice about how to evaluate and select tools according to particular needs. As entertaining as it is informative, Benford's handbook imparts practical wisdom on safety and tool care, making and testing tools, and assembling "tool kits" to perform various tasks such as restoration, motorcycle maintenance, body work fabrication, and mechanical repair.

"Cycle Source", May 2007"The book is packed full with useful information on hand tools, power tools, electric and pneumatic, lifts, tool chests, welding gear, gear storage, organization and most importantly 'safety tips.' Even with my previous conceptions, to me this was a book well worth reading. It is well-written in terms that are easy to understand and is very informative ... So if you are shopping around for some brain food, I would highly recommend the Motorbooks Workshop '"Garage and Workshop Gear Guide'" as a great source of information."
