It works both ways, but I have always installed the clip with the closed side facing the **** or handle. It seem to make it easier to remove using that special tool.

I like the open side towards the handle.

- But I use my own home-made tool (a product of necessity at the time, but works great).

A small towel or wash cloth slid in there will snag and pop the clip off if you don't have the "removal tool".
