That's a new one. I knew from the get go that when I had tolal shoulder replacement to lock those things away. They have to be the worst and I used one a LOT.
Fred, I would put the big Milwaukee away. But, and here's a thought that I have tried, but the jury's out: wear big soft gloves like you wear in the snow. And one I definitely do, don't hold any of these tools tight. Cradle and brace them but don't make you arm do the work. Let the tool work while you just hold it gently.
If that isn't good enough then it's not a good tool for you (or me). And I'll give you an example: a Sawzall will grab every now and then and shake the hell out of you. If you're barely hanging on, that grab doesn't shoot all the way up your arm. It may jerk the tool out of your hands and that's what you want.
