That's how I was taught, the tool pulls rather than pushes. It does not apply to box wrenches, they are omnidirectional.

The video had good information and showed a couple of extractor tools I didn't know existed so a big thanks to Bill for posting it. However, I could not avoid thinking if he's (the guy in the video) in the habit of using tools backwards it's no wonder he's so good at dealing with rounded off bolt heads.
