Machinery's Handbook

Dunno, I find the Engineer's Black Book to be a bit scatterwit in how it's organized. It's also missing some of the info on basic design factors, like allowances for wrenches on bolt heads or how deep to make a countersink.

I'd love a CAD tool that had that info baked into it, along with a fastener library.

I have both Machinery's & Black books. You can only condense so much into a pocket book. I typically refer to the Black & if I need more info, bump up to the bible.

pstemari has a million dollar idea!
 
They also publish a Fastener Black book as well not sure if this has information you asking about!
 

Metric Thread Sizes

The Fastener Black Book contains Metric Thread Sizes, Metric Thread Dimensions, Hex Bolt Dimensions, Fastener Torque Specifications, Fastener Identification and much more.

I have an old edition that was my father’s. I used it just a few days ago to look up some info on press fits. Wow, it was terrific, helped me to figure out just what kind of press fit I wanted, torque characteristics, etc.
I don’t generally keep a computer, laptop or tablet in the shop...too oily and greasy. I go in the lab for that.

Same here. Take a copy of your notes, drawing, schematic to the shop. Do what you can with that. My clipboards rotate between the shop & desk. Lab? I like that term!

Well that's not good! I just looked in the latest 'The Shed' magazine and noticed that it is no longer advertised as coming with a free drill Gauge. Perhaps they have run out or there is some stupid shipping regulation?
Regardless the book is a handy reference and built to last.
