If you're left-handed, take a careful look at the controls on the drill.  I
have seen several (and unfortunately own one) designed so that the lock for
the trigger-switch is positioned where the index fingertip of a
right-handed person falls.  Unfortunately, this corresponds to the base of
a left-hander's index finger--you may end up depressing the lock as soon as
you pick up the drill, and that may make it difficult to release the lock
and shut the drill off if you get into a bind (sic).
