I know that Philip didn't intend it that way, but it is humorous to think
that anybody could expect that ARD would need to have somebody else make
them up!
Even I have made RH nuts and bolts.
A set of LH taps and dies would be FUN!
There is a mechanical puzzle that includes a bottle with a stick in it,
with a nut and screw through the stick, and to solve the puzzle, one has
to unscrew the nut while it is in the bottle.
I wanna make one of those with LH threads :-)
