      I have two of them. But I usually can only find one at a time. They are handy. Bought them when they were only about $5.00/$6.00 each. LeeValley, IIRC.

          After seeing it in the HF catalog for a few years, bought two and gave away one to a friend. Great little reference book, with lots of info. Tried to look up "Pocket Ref" in it and it wasn't there.

              I seem to pick this up at the register in HF almost everytime. I get a kick out of it and should probably just buy one.

                      the companion to it is "handyman in your pocket" which is also a must have. it has plumbing, electrical, fastener, demensional lumber calcs, firewood btu charts, all sorts of great info. ever wonder what the head loss of 1/2" copper pipe at 100' is? it's in there!!

                      both are sort of poor man's machinery's handbook.
