first, you hand it to someone else, please!

Either fell out of his chair or is a troll. Ignore.

He meant well. This forum messed up and lost many of the posts.

I thought it sounded funny. That link clears it up a bit and the OP is right; one always tries to pull, never push, a wrench.

If pushing is a necessity, the palm of the outstretched hand should be used rather than wrapping the wrench up with the fingers.

Other than that, avoid flaking chrome and aim carefully when throwing one. :slight_smile:

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosy

Ah, so there WAS a post behind that header after all.

Definitely pull only. UNLESS, there’s no choice but use extreme caution.
