Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Kissell's experience and knowledge are well documented by thisbook.
The key strength of this book is the compact yet thoroughcoverage of what matters most to the average reader of this book.That reader is of course, a maintenance mechanic currently working in industry. Many books on these topics are just too wordy and intimidating. Kissell's brevity is helpful without sacrificing content.
The content and graphics are simple and straight forward, not spending too much time getting deep into engineering level discussion. I also like the order in which the material is presented, it has a natural flow that keeps the average reader from having to flip back and forth through the book to make sense of it.
My recommendations to improve the book would be to:
1. Add some additional practice problems and also outline some practical laboratory exercises to reinforce the text.
2. Make references to other material that delve deeper into the theory behind the basics. Something similar to "For more information on this topic...Kissell's other works are equally well written, and prove his capabilities of deeper level discussion on industrial technology. With this book, he has succeeded in writing a book that provides the most essential theories and troubleshooting tips, and avoids material that does not aid in understanding. END

This book reflects the recent shift in industry that finds companies consolidating employees from multiple trades—such as electricians, mechanics, pipe fitters, and hydraulic technicians—into a single position deemed "mechanic." Specifically designed to meet this change and prepare students for the new job classification, it provides an integrated presentation of the tools and techniques for troubleshooting electrical systems, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and mechanical systems of modern machines.
