Hey Sedanman, most wormdrive saws have the blade left and are comfortable using a reverse grip. Porter Cable also makes a blade left circular saw.
Hey Jeff, that picture of the Solo could be the one that caused my buddy who is a forestry supervisor for Niagara Mohawk so much grief. He had a guy join one of his crews with absolutely no experience( utility union rules, you got seniority, you get the job) who happened to be left handed. He also happened to be a real hard luck case who was chased out of every other job he ever had because he always had a problem with something. So anyway, after the rest of his crew gets tired of picking up the slack, they start going through the Steward to the supervisor about the lazy bum, and how they want him off the crew. The supervisor agrees and counsels the troubled soul, and the troubled soul immediately goes out on stress related disability. Long story short, the bum contends that he cannot return to his tree trimming job because of the stress of having to use a right handed saw when he is left handed. Of course the doctor who evaluates him doesn`t know the difference so he passes this info back to the super, who then tells the Doc that no such thing as a left handed chainsaw exists, and he had better get his patient back to work. Now here is where it gets funny, the stressed out fella comes back with " I know they make them because I saw one in a magazine". So now after an extensive and costly search by the supervisor, to no avail, stressboy is a $30/hr flagman and cone setter around the work area, still believing that the company is screwing him, LOL.
