    I'm a rightie. I like using the left handed hand rest (if I use it
    at all). When I tried a handrest on the right side, it got in the way
    of my filing, setting, flex shaft procedures. With a handrest on the
    left side, I can brace my left hand on it while holding a setting
    tool, now my right hand that is hammering has more clearance. I hope
    this helps! 

Happy New Year!
