Yeah Gup...I am right handed.... but the arthritis in my left hand... "The Clamp" is way worse, and a good carpenter needs to be ambidextrous. Recently been having trouble holding material down for cuts on the compound miter saw.
Over a period of 47 years as a carpenter, using power tools everyday, I've had mostly minor injuries. Most of the injuries that i've witnessed have been do to careless use of a nail gun....seen it happen way to many times. It's not a pretty sight to see a 16d nail imbedded in a coworkers hand. Worst injury for me was a staging collapse that put me in the hospital for three weeks with multiple injuries...I was only 18 years old.
