way I sit on a stool to work it.

This is a big deal for me. The way I sit, my hand and wrist are in a 
straight line when using the 42X. I like to have my eyes positioned so I 
can see the plunger compressing the saw tooth against the anvil.

With the pliers type sawset I have to bend my wrist and it quickly 
starts to hurt. I could probably find a stance where my wrist is not 
bent when using the pliers type, but have not found it the few times I 
tried this type of set.
