As SDJ pointed out the left handed threads “if you can’t see them” will put a kink in many people’s plans . But sometimes they are necessary. A friend of mine who just changed the clutch on an Echo chainsaw told me it was threaded on LH . I’m assuming because of the direction of rotation of the clutch? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother bought a 1941 Powerwagon back in the early '70s. Found, after much swearing, that the driver's side wheels had LH thread lugs. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin had a set of kerosene lamps. I asked why there was no oil in them, he said he couldn't get them open. After a bit of struggle I figured out they were LH thread. Why would anyone put LH threads on a lamp? 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
