Left threads, right threads. And centrist threads. I have here in my hand a "screw" with threads neither left or right. The thread cuts are rings with no left or right pitch.

Some H-D clutch hub nuts.

I totally don’t understand why these are different. Drives me nuts.

Me, too. I rarely use a suppressor on my P226 and it usually takes me a few tries before I remember which direction to remove the thread protector.

The muzzle on my AK47.

My WW2 Bantam Jeep ammo trailer is lefty tighty on
driver side, righty tighty on passenger side.
