Strunk & White's The Elements of Style is a classic.

I keep a copy on my desk and thumb through it occasionally when I need help with my writing. Next to that book is also a copy of Williams and Colomb's Style: Toward Clarity and Grace. I've also read the USAF Tongue and Quill. There are good lessons in all 3 of these books for technical writers.
I got an MA in technical writing and my editing professor gave us Strunk & White. It probably did more for me than half the classes tbh.
