Short of surgery, I'm stuck with two trigger fingers.
Sometimes it's worse than others.
It doesn't impinge on operating a trigger, though.
I have a foam ball that's a little larger and a lot softer than a tennis ball, and squeezing it for a bit seems to less the effect.
It's been about five to six years when I got it (them?) and it still creeps me out when I can't extend the two or even one finger, so that ball seems to help.
Yeah, my trigger finger is usually manageable, if I take it easy on myself, but when I get involved in a project, I don't think about overdoing it till the hand starts talking to me. It is definitely the tight gripping that gets it aggravated.
After thinking about it for a while, I think I may opt for a 12v cordless drill/driver combo as that would be what I need for 90% of my stuff and that way I won't have to drag out the corded drill unless it is something special. The 12v are generally lighter, and I just read a thing where Norm, of ToH, said the 12v is fine for most jobs and is the way to go for most DIYers.
When we had the other house and big yard, I could see going for the 18 or 20v, as I could have used it on more tools, but my needs have dropped off a lot after we moved into the townhouse with virtually no yard, so light weight is more important than power, now.
There are a lot of options but DeWalt, Bosch, and Milwaukee look like they may have some good sets with the drill/driver and batteries.
Now to get a good deal on one.
