Left hand threads and right hand threads differ in the direction in which they are tightened or loosened. Right hand threads are tightened by turning clockwise and loosened by turning counterclockwise, while left hand threads are tightened by turning counterclockwise and loosened by turning clockwise. This difference allows for specific applications where different types of threads are needed for secure fastening.

Left hand threads and right hand threads differ in the direction in which they are tightened or loosened. Right hand threads are the most common and are tightened by turning clockwise and loosened by turning counterclockwise. Left hand threads, on the other hand, are tightened by turning counterclockwise and loosened by turning clockwise. This difference in direction allows left hand threads to be used in specific applications where a reverse tightening direction is needed.
