MODERATORS
(not recently but always useful): Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Always helps when un/screwing things.
Except gas pressure regulators
And lawnmower blades
And brush cutter heads
And some wheel hubs
What did I miss?
Oh, bicycle pedal cranks
Half of a bottlescrew or turnbuckle.
Some arbor nuts.
Anything where the nut will regularly be in a counter-clockwise rotation. Ideally you want the nut spinning toward tightening, so that it doesn't back out over time. So, for some application "left-handed" threads make more sense.
Congrats for just explaining why I listed those specific things 😂
