Are there any left handed tools? I realise 90% of people are
right-handed but if 10% of the global population are left handed,
isn't that big enough to make a market?

Circular saws and cheap wall chasers have the motor stick out on the
left. Are they a nuisance for lethalness?

What about our favourite, the angle grinder? Whilst the motor

doesn't
stick out and you can attach the handle on either side, would that
mean that in one hand the disc is spinning away from you but in the
other it was spinning towards you?

Thanks,
