October 2010 Monthly Roundup for Tool Snob

The wood is stacked, the leaves are down, the sweaters are up from the basement, and the cats are catching mice on an almost daily basis. It's fall.

October was good, but it felt really fast this year. We managed to muscle our way through a bunch of reviews and thankfully there were a lot of great tools that we looked at; from the Johnson digital level to the Masterforce Bandsaw (and we can't forget the fantastic Fein grinder with the bizarro switch system). But the tool of the month is going to have to go to go the Husqvarna 576 AutoTune Chainsaw because it's just so damn nice.

We're expecting to be busy in November with more reviews. There's a lot of good stuff piling up in the shop...
