Did you know that tape measures are handed.

If you hold the tape so you can read the numbers they go from left to right. :lol:

I don't think it is handed as I can use either hand.

The circular saw is handed, but if I am cutting from left to right I use my left hand, if I am cutting from right to left I use my right hand.

It's like a knife and fork, I never put them in the right place as I can use either in either hand.

most saws have the motor facing the operator when they use there r/hand as mentioned above its to put the main part off the base plate on the work piece for safety sake so at the end off the cut the saw is fully supported and on the waste side
