Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring Updated 8th Edition: Current with 2020-2023 Electrical Codes (Volume 8) (Black & Decker Complete Guide, 8)

Great comprehensive descriptions of virtually any household electrical issue.

Love this book, has very clear step by step instructions on how to wire everything I need to do for my DIY projects. Definitely recommend this book for anyone who is a not an expert in wiring.

Learned a lot from this book. Good for the DIYer.

VERY INFORMATIVE with great PICS

Very helpful info on how to wire correctly. Pictures are also great.

B&D has become my 1st choice for DIY books. They don’t skip the details that others sometimes leave out. I had a electrician give me quote on some work I thought was above my skill level. He saw my electrical work in our unfinished basement and said my work was better than the “professional” electricians’ before me. I have B&D’s Wiring Guide to thank for that. That said, I still stand on a pallet when working on a breaker box! LOL!With any electrical guide, you have to be aware that it can’t be any more up to date than the current National Electric Code (NEC) at the time of authorship. They update it every 3 years. The updates are easy to find online.

Electricity has always seemed a bit like dark magic to me. I can rewire a lamp and change out an outlet - but seeing bare wires is much like seeing your own bone. It just ain't right.This book hits the right stride of explaining everything slowly and simply, while never treating me like I might be stupid.I almost lost it when I got to the part where electric math is taught. But I took a deep breath, kept reading, and learned how to do the math.This book was in no way an advertisement for Black & Decker tools. I was surprised and impressed that there weren't many pictures of Black and Decker branded tools.I will need to read the book again a few times to become truly comfortable with electricity but so far I have found nothing wrong with the book.

I bought this book as a gift for a relative who wanted to familiarize himself with electrical wiring so he could knowledgeably work on his wiring. He was VERY pleased.
