    Your not a Tech, Electrician, Engineer, whatever...if you don't have a copy of an Ugly's electrical reference in your toolbox. It's the next best thing to having a copy of the NEC, except Ugly's breaks down some of the theory which the NEC does not, but the Ugly's doesn't have all the info that the NEC does, it just has the basics, like I said for quick reference, nothing beats an Ugly's,. period.

    This is the book I meant to buy the first time when I bought the safety book. I'm not complaining because I read the safety book and it was good information and I kept it also. This book has the charts to to help you figure out what size wire to use in a circuit your running so you do not burn your house down using the wrong wire.

    I love the Ugly's book. I always keep one in my toolbox. It's amazing how much of the NEC they fit into this little handbook. I just finally updated to the current code cycle from my 2005. My only disappointment was two typos. Didn't find any errors in the numbers, but spelling errors cause me to lose confidence in the editing process.

    As an electrician, I keep this handy little helper right in my bag. It’s always good to know wire sizes and calculations. If you ever forget just whip this baby out and boom you have the knowledge. Voltage drop calculations, breaker sizing, wire gauge size, you name it it has it. You need this book. Don’t question it. Just put it in your cart right now.
