I just look at the threads on the rod very carefully ..and 'see' ..if I
turn it 'this way' that will lengthen the rod.

then, I try to remember, like on my screwdriver levering tool ..'handle
up tightens up' ..
or whichever it is, handle up or down.

if I had to guess right now I'd say 'handle up tightens up'.'
