How to get attributes of a gameObject from 2 script components of the same name?

I have a class called HandController. It controls the hand based on mouse movements. When I hold LMB, it moves left hand, when I press RMB, it moves right hand. The movements are different, but it differs only by values, not by actual functionality, thus there's no point to write two different scripts with different names. So I have two components of the same name. The problem is, that I want to get a variable in another script from HandController (the variable I want to get is isHandMoving). How am I supposed to do it, when I have a duplicate component?

 

Give them an attribute called "hand" where you specify, which hand it controlls, then
var hc = GetComponents<HandController>();
for (int n = 0; n < hc.Length; n++) {

if (hc[n].hand == "left") {

//DO stuff
​

}
​

}

 

Thank you, a good and fast solution
