Are tension wrenches and picks "handed"??

[bmc1284]

As I'm sitting here with my Ultimate Challenge Lock, I am wondering if tension wrenches especially are 'Handed". I pick with my left and tension with my right, and I'm using a twist-flex type (is that what it's called?). I notice that the "twist" is clockwise, which puts the top finger (I use TOK) at the 10:00 rather than 12:00 position.

Is this an issue, or have I had too much sleep deprivation from fighting spool pins?

The only handedness you'll find is on padlocks that only open clockwise. It is very awkward for left handed pickers. I just hold the padlock with the keyway upside down or I'll put in the tensioner on TOK and pull on it to the right with my index finger.

And a corollary to Xeo's point is that righties have trouble picking CCW, or at least I do. I confess to some arthritis from my karate days which makes it even harder. I often have to give the poor hands a rest after about 1/2 hour.

Thanks for the input guys! I can see how righties have CCW issues, as I have CW issues. Usually I'll just switch to BOK and use my thumb.
