Clockwise Loosen
Clockwise loosen
It works for standard threads, where you turn clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. First, point your right thumb in the direction you want the nut or bolt to travel. Now curl your fingers into a fist.
Which way to tighten or loosen?
The easiest way to remember which direction tightens and which one loosens is the old axiom, Righty-Tighty and Lefty-Loosey. This means that turning most threaded things right, or clockwise, tightens them (Righty-Tighty), and turning them to the left, or counterclockwise, loosens them (Lefty-Loosey).
Which direction do you unscrew a screw?
And it's funny so you'll remember it righty tighty lefty loosey.
