Small Tools That Work

The Small Tools are spreadsheets that enable you to:

  • Produce the charts and graphs given in Construction Equipment Economics V2.
  • Use your data to implement The 10 Steps.
  • Just simply get the job done.

The Basic Small Tools bundles are included with The 10 Steps book purchase, and additional Premium tools are available for separate purchase.

No book? no problem! All Small Tools bundles can be purchased on their own.
