    Left Handed Detaling

    After going through a paint correction session this weekend I realize that power tool manufacturers cater their tools for right handed people. I used my Griots G9 and I really like the machine but as a lefty I could not activate the trigger lock button. I realize that we are only 10% of the population but why couldn't Griots add a second button to the other side of the handle? Have any of my other fellow lefty detailers noticed this?

    That's it. Where is the "De-Friend" button??
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    The best way to get revenge? Teach them how to detail. They'll spend the rest of their life worrying about the condition of their car.

    I guess I have a better chance of getting that left handed monkey wrench.
