I must confess that I am a bit of a DK fanatic, I have always loved their line of informative guides ever since I was a child, their ability to convey their information clearly in reductive simple language is unmatched by any other publisher who attempts these how-to or information books. With Tools they absolutely hit the mark once more. As I was looking to build up a new tool box from scratch for various DIY and building projects this served my needs to an absolute tee and helped me make informed choices about the equipment I bought.

This is a well presented book covering a wide range of hand tools both new and old. It is filled with easily accessible, clear and concise information and pictures. Ideal for a gift or to keep for regular reference.
