History of Popular Mechanics

Founded in 1902, Popular Mechanics magazine was founded and edited by Henry Haven Windsor. Understanding that the world of machines was too complicated for the average person to understand, the magazine constructed its content with a tone and style under the tagline “Written so you can understand it.” In 1958, the magazine’s brand was purchased by the Hearst Magazine corporation. In 2014, the magazine changed its headline to “How your world works,” along with other content-driven changes.

Not sure about renewal

Sure not like it used to be. But I don't care about high tech stuff. Bring back flying cars and how to build a boat in my garage stuff for this old timer.

Magazine is getting pretty small

Pages have gotten smaller so have they decreased the print or just cut out articles? Guess it's ok but not sure it's still worth the money.

Not like it used to be

This magazine has changed a lot over the last few years. It is not nearly as good. More Popular Science than mechanics. Not nearly the do it yourself info and projects like there used to be. This will probably be the last time I renew and I've been receiving it for about 45 years.

Billing Problem

I wrote to Pop mech back on 1/29/2014 to stop continuous service. I still have my hard copy. Pop mech is still sending me magazine that I can no longer read easily due to small print all run together.

A lifetime of Popular Mechanics

I have read this magazine since I was a child; long, long ago. I've also subscribed a number of times. After most of a lifetime of making things, fixing things, and tearing things apart, I'd have to say that a number of my ideas, and ultimately the techniques used to produce them, were either provided by, or at least fueled by, articles I read in Popular Mechanics. Would I be lost without the magazine? No! But I would not have become as accomplished at mechanical things if I'd not had it around, nor would I have had as much fun.
