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). -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
