This is good for sealant

If you work on firearms or small mechanical items where you don't want the threads to unwind or vibrate, this is the best solution in the world.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Works perfectly! suitable for car care

I have a chair that the screws kept loosening. I took them out and added this thread blocker according to the instructions and had no more problems. Excellent material!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Security

Good product, wish the tube could hold more

Good product as far as I can tell. It was a thinner gel than I expected and not enough product for my needs. I would recommend for smaller projects and expect the product to drip a little (just a hair thicker than water).

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Volume

A good thing. on putties, adhesives and sealants

I bought this through Amazon because I was too lazy to look it up at our local hardware store. I use this product for set screws and the like in RC model airplanes. a small price to pay to avoid a very costly accident due to a loose nut or bolt.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Vanish

Great LOCTITE product for gun screws and more!

This is a great product for those working with shotguns or other weapons to fit screws. This provides sufficient holding power, but allows the screws to be loosened if necessary. If you work with firearms please use this product and not red or hard Loctite as this is a good way to prevent someone else from removing the screws. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not bad

This stuff really works

When you actually see liquid coming out of a tube of Loctite, it looks too liquid to do anything to tighten a bolt (or nut). Time and environment must have hardened it somehow because I put a very small amount of it on the bolt holding the bike's bracket that was loosening every day and I haven't had to tighten it since. It was a few months ago. A good thing!

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Damaged

Dirty application in sealant

This material is truly AMAZING! I got to work as soon as I opened the package and started lubricating the loose screws on my cat's scratching post. A word to the wise, but there is definitely room for improvement with the applicator as I messed it up horribly to begin with. Be careful when using and make sure something is underneath to protect your work surface. Thankfully, it's actually quite easy to clean. It's been a few months and as far as I can tell it's really helping, so why not try it?

Pros
  • Lasting finish
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Great product with good track record in complex applications!

I started using Loctite products over 45 years ago and have found how well they work on assembling aluminum parts for appliances. Now I use it on my shotguns when I'm building them to keep parts from coming loose from shock and vibration. I just put together a new AR15 build and used it as accessories for all the guns. I installed a new Magpul MIAD pistol grip, a Magpul vertical rail grip, a tactical light, a set of Magpul MBUS front and rear sights, a Vortex 3X folding sight, and a Daniels…

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
