Back in 2011, when Edition 1 came out, Price gave me a collapsible dolly to help deliver them.
You know, those Canadians have universal healthcare, so they didn’t concern themselves much about the handful of trips I made to the chiropractor after physically delivering 300 books.
Over the years, folks have commented on the weight of information and the physical weight of the book.
Now, Engineer’s Handbook 2.0 is available, and you can get your personalized copy.
Yeah yeah, you kids want your electronic version.
But you haven’t thought this through.
That’s because there’s a list of Top 10 Uses for Price’s Engineering Handbook 2.0, the kind you can hold in your hand. Here goes!
- You can open it in your lap, lower your readers down to the end of your nose, and look really smart as you glance up at co-workers or your spouse.
- If you have 4, you can work to replace your car’s muffler. As if.
- When you take up yoga, use it as a yoga block.
- You can learn about displacement ventilation fundamentals, so when I preach on the subject you can interrupt me and try to throw me off my game. Good luck.
- Get prepared for the new, electrified world order with chilled beams and low lift heat pump systems.
- The new and old handbooks weigh slightly different, so you can do curls with your weaker arm to even out your beach body.
- It can take the spot on your desk (if you have a desk) where the Titus and Carnes catalogs sit. Those catalogs have expired.
- Impress your friends with how dedicated you are to preserving the environment by recycling your old version of the Price Engineering Handbook.
- Challenge yourself, earn all 106 PDH credits by reading the book and taking the quizzes. All 106 gets you an interview as an engineering manager at Price. (JK)
- Instead of marking the wall, measure the growth of your children in handbooks.
- Learn something new, because I know what a nerd you are if you made it to #10. Takes one to know one.
Have a clever use you want to share, send it my way. I’d love to hear it!
