Default Electric hand tool recommendations

Leon"
Left hand saws are meant to be used with your left hand so that you are
not exposed to the exposed side of the blade. This is a safety feature
for left handers.


Leon, You seem to be the only one who keeps bringing up this issue.
Generally, I have a great deal of respect for your opinion however, on this
issue I believe you are incorrect.

The blade left saws are not designed for left handed people.
Skil/Bosch/Milwaukee/Dewalt all make saws with left bladed - and they
outsell the right blade ones five to one. Interestingly enough, most call
it their professional - heavy duty or framer saw. I generally use my right
hand to saw with and I prefer the left bladed saw. It's much easier to see
the line and hold it on line.
