Hard to find elsewhere, but when you need it, you need it!

This was recommended by Beretta to prevent the screws from coming out of the CX4 carbine top rail assembly. They had to be pulled up after five or ten rounds before use. Haven't had any problems since using it. I suppose it will come loose with a simple screwdriver if I ever have to take this part apart again. The biggest difficulty I had with this product was finding it. In most places there appears to be only blue or red Loctite. At a reasonable price, Revain was able to offer same dayโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Not sure

Decent but probably not essential

There are some applications (for me at least) where this would be preferable to 242 . Use it for very small screws where you are afraid to apply a lot of torque. It's probably made by the same people as blue (242) and red (271), but the design of the container is slightly different, and my 222 container isn't airtight either. In both my 242 and 271 I can squeeze the plastic to force out excess air, screw the lid on and the reservoirs remain deflated. But at tank 222, the air leaks back almostโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Unreliable

Maybe blue for pocket knife hinges

Knife lovers talk about using Loctite Blue to secure pocket knife hinges and other case screws. But when you read what screw size they recommend for this product, Purple really sounds like we should use Purple and not Blue. However, I've used purple on a couple of knife hinges and while following the directions I feel like purple doesn't really do much. I would prefer something stronger. The blue in this line comes in a liquid form just like this one but on the contrary the blue also comes in a

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Lots of things

It does what it says on the tin and works well as long as you understand the limitations of the product. The description says "prevents small screws and fasteners from vibration loosening" - the keyword is "small screws and fasteners". Don't expect this to hold the suspension bolts on your car, Loctite has many different products and formulas for different size bolts and different levels of adhesion - and it's best to "exceed" expectations lest you expect it to be critical chargesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Good for the most part, but...
