Should we start a left hand thread post?
bonneyman:
My recent adventures made me think perhaps reverse threads are more common than I think. Maybe we should list those applications we run into and make it a reference. What do you all think?
The "lefty hefty, righty lighty" threads I know of are:
Newer water heater gas valve thermocouple leads (American brand heaters it seems)
Drill chuck attachment screws
Bicycle cranks and pedals (I'll have to check and see which is which now) P.S. Finally had to swap out a pair of pedals. Reverse thread on the pedals is the non-drive side.

Isn't a Skilsaw blade bolt left hand thread?

Ha! I learned that lesson trying to help my Dad change the tire on our '67 Newport - broke the stud.
