Left handers?

[s.varty]

Carrying the ms200 with my left hand today, and thought how the hell can anyone use a saw the other way round ,if you know what I mean. So how do you left handers get on?

[WeeDee]

It's hardly a fine-motor skill, just hold it like a right-hander.

[Jack Price]

I'm left handed but can hold a saw either way round

[Pete Mctree]

I use it with the most appropriate hand - A strength of being left handed - you end up being almost ambidextrous

[WeeDee]

I am ambidextrous (right down to having the same signature on both hands) and have a left-handed brother, but learning to hold a saw right-handed hasn't been a problem for him.

I do the same with my knife and fork but that was a whole different thread lol.

 

I would think it was like driving a car to be fair. we all have the gear stick on the left hand. well most of us do, as that is the way we all learn(similar to any hand tools) they are usually awkward until we train our brain to use them.

 

If they brought out left hand chainsaws I think the world might end so hopefully that pandoras box will stay closed.

I'm rambling now.

Agree with Pete

If you've ever used a gun do you put the butt on your right or left shoulder? A left handed friend puts it on his left,which seems just not right to me

Same as, although i'm not left handed.

 

I often use a big saw left handed up a tree also.

Im right handed but shoot left handed
