Its embarrassing how many folks have to be reminded:
Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
Only time I have a problem with that is when the nut is on the bottom of
something and I'm reaching down and around a bunch of obstacles from the
top. Then I have to remember that CCW for the nut is CW when viewed from
the top. And that's after 15+ years working on a farm (first 8 years
weren't that productive :-) ) as well as various machinery work after
getting out of college.
hold your right hand in a fist with thumb extended.
twisting the nut in the same direction that your fingers are pointing
will move the nut in the direction that your thumb is pointed.
Dang! You mean the right hand rule is good for more than the direction
of a vector cross-product? Thanks. (Still learning)
