September 2007 Monthly Roundup for Tool Snob

It was a funny month here at Tool Snob. We took the first part off and went on vacation, so things were pretty quiet for a couple weeks. Then we got back and really had to hit the ground running. It's shaping up to be a busy fall in the tool world and at the moment there's quite a lot going on. Probably the biggest news is Ryobi's Lithium-Ion line of tools. It looks like they've managed to wrap the benefits of the li-ion battery in a very affordable package. We've got a lot of info on those tools, here, here, here, and here.

Because of our vacation, we only reviewed two tools in September. Still, we don't think that should detract any of the glory from Husky's 2-In-1 Combo Knife, our Tool of the Month. It's a great little knife that belongs in everyone's pocket.

So keep checking in, because we've got a lot in store for you in October...starting tomorrow with a review of one of the finest tools we're ever used.
