Reviews for Tools

"""It's bold for a book to claim to be the 'ultimate, ' but this effort comes pretty close. Two features make it wonderfully useful. First, the 125 listed tools are arranged by function: measure, cut, fasten, and shape. Second, it offers detailed, solid advice for experienced do-it-yourselfers alongside intriguing bits of background trivia for handyman wannabes.""-Booklist"
