milkbone Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I am partial to putting the pointed end of my nails im my right hand. I'm right handed so I guess this is why. I'm wondering if I should switch it up from time to time because usually after I bend I get pain in the webbing of my left hand (between thumb and index finger) and wonder if it is caused by the nail head? Do you have a preference as to which hand gets the point and are you right or left handed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I switch pretty regularly to make sure both hands get toughened equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisof4 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I am the same way. The head of the nail always goes into my left hand. My hands have just sort of gotten used to this, so I haven't found a good reason for changing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I always put the point in my left hand. I am right handed and bend with the double underhand style. It just feels better this way for some strange reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I don't pay any attention at all - never thought much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMunger Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I'm w/ climber. It's just kind of a where ever it ends up, it ends up. Sometimes I'll even end up switching the ends around mid bend jsut for giggles. Couldn't tell you which was which, just re-adjusting grip.

JeffPeterson Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Point is in the right hand for me. It's just a habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octogen Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I'm only using a hand towel to bend so I nip the last 1/4" of the point off and file it back to avoid doing a Jesus impersonation. with bolts and nails I always put the head in my right hand and the thread or pointy end in my left. I bend over/under style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
