Thanks Eric for the condolences and the support. Unless you live it, being left handed, you or anyone else probably wouldn't notice. But like you pointed out when you experience it, then it makes an impression.
Some makers have started realizing and are designing tools that can flip the handles around to accommodate lefties, I have a couple drills that are that way. Fishing reel makers have know about it for a long time and most spinning reels can flip the crank to make it were they work for either hand.
