The combination of claim 1 further comprising: attaching means on the first side portion for detachably receiving the belt clip; wherein the attaching means is associated with a raised pad which is elevated from at least part of the housing immediately surrounding the raised pad to create a lip extending at least partially around the intersection of the raised pad and the housing. 6. The combination of claim 1 wherein the belt clip further comprises: a tool mating surface; a first projection extending outwardly from the tool mating surface at a first end; a second projection extending from a second end of the first projection creating a receiving space between the second projection and the housing when the belt clip is mounted to the first side portion; and wherein the first projection has first and second concavely curved surfaces which are curved to generally match the profile of a user's thumb and finger and which cradle the user's thumb or finger between the belt clip and the first side portion. 7. The combination of claim 1 wherein: when the belt clip is mounted to the drill/driver, the user may hold the drill/driver with one hand in a thumb-rest hold wherein the thumb is positioned in contact with the belt clip and the first side portion of the barrel portion of the housing, and the remaining fingers are positioned in contact with one of the second side portion of the barrel portion of the housing or the pistol grip portion. 8. The combination of claim 7 wherein when the user holds the drill/driver in one hand in the thumb-rest hold, at least one finger of the hand contacts the switch to permit actuation of the switch. 9. The combination of claim 7 further comprising: a finger groove formed in the first side portion of the barrel portion of the housing, the finger groove being positioned so that the thumb of the hand grasping the drill/driver in the thumb-rest hold lies in the finger groove. 10. The combination of claim 9 wherein the finger groove further extends to the back side portion of the barrel portion, and when the user holds the drill/driver in one hand in the thumb-rest hold, the first web of the user's hand is positioned in the finger groove. 11. The combination of claim 1 wherein: when the belt clip is mounted to the drill/driver, the user may hold the drill/driver with one hand in a power-grip hold wherein the thumb is positioned in contact with the second side portion of the barrel portion of the housing, the first finger is positioned in contact with a top of the belt clip and the first side portion of the barrel portion of the housing, the second finger is positioned in contact with a bottom of the belt clip and the first side portion of the barrel portion of the housing, and the remaining fingers are positioned in contact with one of the first side portion of the barrel portion of the housing or the pistol grip portion. 12. The combination of claim 11 wherein when the drill/driver is grasped in the power-grip hold, the second web of the user's hand grasping the drill/driver contacts the belt clip. 13. The combination of claim 11 wherein when the user holds the drill/driver in one hand in the power-grip hold, at least one finger of the hand contacts the switch to permit actuation of the switch. 14. The combination of claim 11 further comprising: a finger groove formed in the first side portion of the barrel portion of the housing, the finger groove being positioned so that the first finger of the hand grasping the drill/driver in the power-grip hold lies in the finger groove. 15. The combination of claim 14 wherein the finger groove further extends to the back side portion of the barrel portion, and when the user holds the drill/driver in one hand in the power-grip hold, the first web of the user's hand is positioned in the finger groove. 16. The combination of claim 1 wherein when the belt clip
