@atatassault Indeed. If you're using a wrench, with the handle towards you, the rule is the exact opposite.

I'm not aware of such a rule existing in my language. There may be one, but certainly not as widely known as the one in English.

@veronica @atatassault My language also lacks a specific expression for this. I always tried both ways until high-school when I noticed that the direction to turn a bolt/wrench matches with the right-hand rule for AmpΓ¨re's law. Ever since, I've been mentally visualizing in which direction should the bolt turn to come out or go in… but I admit it's not a very scalable approach πŸ˜….

@veronica See, I dont even understand the directions you mean with your wrench example. Right and Left have no meaning for a rotational axis.
