Are the threads reversed to allow easy tightening between 2 objects?

No they are not. But the issue you describe rarely comes up in my experience

If one side had left hand threads (what would be required) it would not screw into anything unless it too had left hand threads. I've never seen 1/4-20 left hand threads on anything unless the special hardware was supplied. LH threads are very rare.

Very, its not a very tight thread until you get to the end but by no means would I be afraid of it coming unscrewed.

No, if that was the case you would need one component with reversed threads. This works with items that have standard right hand threads.

No, it can't be reversed. The fancy alabaster light shades just sit on the top ring of the fixture, unsecured. I've had one slip out and break already. This fixture has a nice style, but I would say a poor design.

NO, it does not. You can put it in reverse and it will ratchet properly in 'reverse', but it will not sense torque and click for left-handed (reverse) threads without taking the unit apart and reversing the head. See my review.

Sadly, no. I never even noticed. Thankfully the base is easy to drill and tap. The threads are m8x1.25.

Yes, it was reversible. I returned it because the chuck would not stay tight.

I think so. They could be set so they don't even have to be undone. I can just pull mine on and off without messing with the lock unless I really tighten them down.

It's opposite, you have to turn it to the right to loosen and left to tighten

I am not sure. I would say no because this is metric threads on both ends. I hope this helps.

Not that I'm aware of because there is a lip where it meets the bracket hole, when you insertthe bar, that keeps it in place & unable to drop any lower. I don't know how you would be able to do it in reverse.

There ARE threaded holes, but in My case (fitting it to a Ridgid 4512) I wanted to shift the tube over a bit. Drilling new holes and tapping them was not too difficult.

No. However they do make adapters that go the other way. But they are not reversible.

No. The different bits fit into the ends of cylinders and are pulled out and reversed as needed.

It is possible they no longer have the strength that they do when they're just the original short section. One and is a male 1/4 inch thread - the other is a female 3/8 inch thread You will need 1 adapter, you will need a 1/4 inch bushing for the 3/8 female end. This will allow them to screw together.

Sure, what you want is a TMI Reverse Chucking Alignment Adapter. It puts the threads on a morse taper so you can flip chucks around to the tailstock. Should not be hard to find. Craft Supplies carries them. About $30.BTW, this isn't for use while turning - it's just an alignment tool. It doesn't rotate. The threads would be in the wrong direction to use a chuck on the tailstock to turn. Just in case that's what you have in mind.

Yes, there is some side to side movement, but it appears there is some sort of spring inside that keeps the head straight. There is an allen or torks wrench opening on one side of the head so it would appear that you could tighten it if required. I haven't seen any problem with the head that would require tightening however.

This is a left hand thread. It loosens opposite of normal. If that doesn't work you'll have to cut it off.

I agree with your conclusion. I tried it in both directions by just putting the drive in a vice. It functions for torque settings in the clockwise direction. Reversing the ratchet for drive in the counter clockwise direction would not activate the torque function in that direction. I don't really see a need for using in the bolt removal direction unless you have left hand bolts to deal with.
