What makes a good icon for the purpose desired is that it avoids confusion. You'll know an icon is no good for its purpose when a user has to go through trial and error to understand the icon. I do not believe adding a mirrored part to the icon would be entirely intuitive for the user, since it may imply other tasks like squeezing and similar. However, i could be understanding "mirrored from the other" wrong.
