    • Great book to use as a primer for novices but not much use for advanced tool users.
I bought this as a primer for my sons. It has nice pictures accompanied by the nomenclature and very basic information on how to use the tools. I also liked how it categorizes the tools which is useful for organizing the tool shed or workbench. Definitely a great starter book for the novice wanting to learn more about tools. This book is definitely NOT for the more advanced tool users. As mentioned by other reviewers, it lacks many details on how to properly use many of the hand tools. In any case, it's very well laid out book that is great with the eye candy but overall lacks depth of instruction on the proper use of the tools presented. ... show more

    • really good overview of tools
This is a very good book. It is not for the advanced woodworker as they will probably already know everything in it, but if you are just starting out and would like a nice book on descriptions a lot of varied tools, it is very well written, with great pictures and the into is by Nick Offerman so that's pretty cool. ... show more

    • Makes Tools Easy to Understand
Before buying The Tool Book I told my mother-in-law I wished they made an app that you could scan a tool and it would tell you what it was. When I saw The Tool Book advertised I knew I needed to get it. It is well arranged and each tool is explained in detail. Just what I wanted! Someday I will pass this on to my grandchildren. For now it is helping me organize my husband's tools. ... show more
