2. Screw thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

   Threads oriented in the opposite direction are known as left-handed (LH). By common convention, right-handedness is the default handedness for screw threads. Therefore, most threaded parts and fasteners have right-handed threads. Left-handed thread applications include:

3. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

   The left hand pedal on a bicycle. [21] [23] The left-hand screw holding a circular saw blade or a bench grinder wheel on. In some devices that have threads on either end, like turnbuckles and removable pipe segments. These parts have one right-handed and one left-handed thread, so that turning the piece tightens or loosens both threads at the ...

4. Screw - Wikipedia

   Most screws are tightened by clockwise rotation, which is called a right-hand thread. [4] [5] Screws with a left-hand thread are used in exceptional cases, such as where the screw will be subject to counterclockwise torque, which would tend to loosen a right-hand screw. For this reason, the left-side pedal of a bicycle has a left-hand thread. [6]

5. Screw extractor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_extractor

   Spiral flute screw extractors. A spiral screw extractor is itself a coarse-pitched tapered screw thread. They are generally left-handed, for use on right-handed threads, though there are right-handed extractors for removing left-handed screws. The screw is first drilled out to the proper diameter for that

6. Coupling nut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_nut

   The outside of the fastener is usually hexagonal so a wrench can hold it. Variations include reducing coupling nuts, for joining two different size threads; sight hole coupling nuts, which have a sight hole for observing the amount of engagement; and coupling nuts with left-handed threads. Coupling nuts can be used to tighten a rod assembly ...

7. List of screw and bolt types - Wikipedia

   Sheet metal screws make excellent fasteners for attaching metal hardware to wood because the fully threaded shank provides good retention in wood. Twinfast screw: A Twinfast screw is a type of screw with two threads (i.e. a twin-start screw), so that it can be driven twice as fast as a normal (i.e. single-start) screw with the same pitch. [4]
