Don't most of those 1/2" drills have an extra handle sticking out
radially, for the left hand? My Milwaukee does, and I'll agree it has
plenty of bone-snapping torque.

Many do, but there are some drills like my Panasonic that has a 1/2"
capacity chuck, but is nothing like the heavy duty corded 1/2" drill you
refer to.
