Looking for a circular saw try porter cable they have them both ways (look for "blade left" as opposite of "blade right" and if you have the money look at worm drive saws from several sources.

As Ed Reible has already pointed out; worm drive saws are really easier for the left-handed person. They cost more, but I prefer them, and they last forever!:D

Some of us lefties have learned to use right hand tools mostly because no one made left hand tools. Scissors/shears are a good example. For me, at this point in my life, there is no need for left hand tools.

Hey Chuck! There IS such a thing as REAL left-handed scissors!! I have several pair. They are expensive but in my opinion worth it. After you use a pair you won't ever want to use right-handed ones again.

Here's a link to learn more: http://www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/ . I have no connection to this group other than being a satisfied customer.

I gave a pair of the scissors to my sister-in-law for Christmas a couple of years ago and she is still thanking me for them every time she sees us.

Get a pair and next time someone asks for scissors give them your's and watch a right handed person look perplexed when they learn what we have been dealing with for decades!

Thanks Leonard - Wish these were available 60 to 70 years ago! Think I may get a couple pair of scissors.
