Spending years onehanding on a regular basis and you increase the chance for carpal tunnel and chronic tendinitis.
JPS, a subject near and dear to me.
Having consulted with Surgeons, General Practitioners, Occupational Therapists, and rehabilitation Nurses, I can tell you that there are many other things we do that spell Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Chronic Tendonitis.
Drum Roll...
#1. Fruit Tree Pruning. Ten to fifteen feet of the ground, making 500 secatuer cuts per day.
#2. Hedge shearing. An ocillating plate on an eight foot stick, on a ladder. Google Reynauds syndrome.
#3. Climbing Rope/ Footlocking. Repetative hold /release /advance very tough on tendons and wrists, not to mention knees.
#4. Operation of large saws. Vibe damping is about as good as it can get, but it will still get you.
#5. Repetative use of long pole pruners. Ergonomically, you are better off to climb and cut.

There is more, but I am just saying that one-handing is not a problem as far as tendonitus or carpal tunnel is concerned.
And you can quote me on that.
