Are there any brands out there that have tools that you can get for either lefty or right handed. I know things like wrenches or rats you can use either hand but lately I've had a few things that I would like made for left handed people.
I bought a pair of nsw ergo combi grips and there made for right handed as the cutter is on the right hand side.

Drill Holsters. All right handed
Pro scissors
Curved handled Wire strippers

Other things I can't think of right now. Anyone else out there have this issue? This really isn't a rant and not complaining. I've dealt with this my whole life but the older I get and the more specific I get with my tools now I keep running into this issue.

One day Leftys will rule :rocker:

Nothing except the original side winder skill saw (an accident no doubt) is made for a lefty. You learn to use your right hand or perish.

You see, the problem is that everyone is born right-handed but only a few of us are able to overcome it.:D

I remmember The first camping trip I went on when I was a Boy Scout. I was sent out in the night to get a "Left Handed Monkey Wrench". I was out all night. LOL
You should check out SouthPaw-Knives. This guy makes custom knives and other things for left handed people. Also check out Southpaw guitars.

SouthPaw knives sounds great. I can't even remember when I started to get into knives but I'm so used to using them right handed I couldn't even open one more less use it left handed. Thanks for the selections. I didn't know occidental leather made lefty drill holster, Ill have to check that out. Thanks for the suggestions

Check out the 4th wrench in (cornwell) and the last one (jet). These are all different brands but on those two you can see the offset on the box end is reversed.

For that reason I've always considered them left handed wrenches. I'll always use one of the regulars to tighten down a nut or bolt but then I'll use a lefty to remove them.... uh that is unless they are left hand threaded of coarse. :canadian:

I've always tought of my Cornwell and MAC wrenches as left handed wrenches and my Snap On wrench as a right handed wrench. Or at least I thought the Cornwell and MAC were designed by a left handed person.

I've been standing on the wrong side of a circular saw for so long I'm no longer sure what the difference is....

A lot of right handed contractors I know like useing a left handed circular saw because they can see the line on what ever there cutting better with a left handed saw. They don't have to look over the saw to see the line.
