Stuff Every Man Should Know (Pocket Companions) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is truly a great book. Great gift for a college grad, new son-in-law, wedding party member, or your spouse.
The range of subjects is amazingly broad. There is guaranteed to be something that you didn't know before in this book.
There is one mistake - on how to jump start a car. The tip calls for using standard jumper cables with four clamps - two Black and two Red.
Here is the sequence in the book: (starting from the step # where the clamps are attached...)
5. Red to Positive on fully charged battery
6. Red to Positive on discharged battery
7. Black to ground on metal on the dead car's engine (this step should be attaching Black to Negative on the discharged battery)
8. Black to Negative on the fully charged battery (this step should be ground to metal on the live car's engine)
Why? Because the final connection - the 4th one - will cause a spark. None of the first three connections will cause a spark because the circuit is incomplete. That spark can cause an explosion of the Hydrogen gas that MAY be leaking from either of the car batteries. The final connection should be far away from the battery (either one) as possible to avoid the potential explosion.
Buy the book anyway. It's superb.
