yup had a drill of some kind in my hand all my life at work. you hold a drill by the end of the motor when driving screws or having to push hard on the drill. holding it by the handle is asking for a sprained wrist. unless you have exceptionally short fingers, you can usually reach the trigger with you middle finger, when holding the drill around the end of the motor. that puts your wrist more less in line with the spindle of the drill to resist twisting much better than the offset arrangement taken by holding the grip in a more conventional way. I have a Milwaukee 1/2 inch "hole shooter' drill and that is a beast of a small hand drill,...it twist out of your hand in a heartbeat. I have put that drill down many times with a throbbing wrist before I figured out how not to hold it when I was younger and thought I was stronger than some silly little drill motor..
