Customer Reviews

excellent for beginners

This is easily the best basic introduction I've seen. Clear, well-illustrated, neither assuming prior experience nor treating the reader as a dummy, it can take you from Zero to rewiring branch circuits with confidence and safety. I really can't recommend it highly enough! I already had experience, but picked up useful bits from it, and have loaned a copy to several friends.The T/L Home Repair and Improvement series is good in general (more than I can say for most series), but especially this volume.

Excellent reference.

I had done some wiring before I got this book, but I wanted a reference that I could use if there was something that I was at all unsure of. Once I got the book, I was very pleased with all the handy hints and illustrations. Definitely worth having it around if you're a novice electrician.

Lots of accurate easy to understand diagrams

This book on basic wiring is outstanding. Unlike a lot of books with written explainations this book has accurate easy to understand and follow diagrams. If you hold an electrical outlet in you hand you can see exactly what it looks like in the diagram. This book takes away the fear of electricity.
