Which way do you turn a right handed nut?

You turn a right-handed nut clockwise to tighten it.

Think of it like this:

* Righty-tighty: If you turn it the way a clock hand moves, you tighten it.

* Lefty-loosey: Turning it the opposite way will loosen it.

This applies to most nuts and bolts, but there are some exceptions, such as left-handed threads used in specific applications.
