Powerful electric drills will often come with an extra handle on the side (or a mounting point for one) so that you can brace them with both hands. It's up to the user to set an appropriate torque limit if they're only using one hand.
- maccard 5y agoUsing the analogies above, a drill like that could put the trigger on the awkward handle, forcing the operator to use it
- dharmab 5y agoThe second handle sometimes needs to be removed to fit into a narrow space. In that case, you set a torque limit and operate the drill with one hand.
- maccard 5y agoThat's fair; Maybe you need to hold two triggers, and the torque limit is reduced if you're only operating in "one hand mode"?
