In rust we trust. God's own threadlocker

I never thought of using Loctite Blue to prevent corrosion between fasteners! What a brilliant idea.

All I wanted to learn was how to apply this so my kitchen faucet handle doesn't loosen up and these two made this a lot of fun to watch.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 😊👍There is a video on the project farm channel that "Likers" of this video might find useful.

Not much to learn here. I was looking for a tutorial on the different types of "Locktite" and their applications.

Us unlearned millennials & generation Z kids need these videos. Very entertaining and informative! Great video! Thank you!

When a sales guy does something with an engineer - the engineer at some point or another usually gets a good laugh out of the typical sales guy's "over the top"-goofiness. In this clip to be witnessed at 3:01

the clamp coming off at the end was genius and funny

In a way i get a flashback from the Police Squad! series, Mr. Olson and Det. Frank Drebin 😂😂

From watching this video I learned that without Loctite on a rusty bolt you will likely ruin the fastener, your socket wrench, and the table that the test fixture was attached to. Thus proving that Loctite will save you a lot of money!

@Loctite North America First off, I love LOKTITE Blue 242. It does a phenomenal of job holding fasteners were I put them, even when there are ridiculous vibration loads trying to shake everything apart. I can take it apart later with just a little bit of extra grunt, and not a torch. It is very challenging for people who know how and when something works to explain it to someone who doesn't. I think you were trying to let it show for itself, but clearly you could make a video to show where and when to use it. Most people don't actually read instructions, and even fewer will call the 800 number. He should have said, " Loc-Tite blue is made to increase the initial holding torque of a fastener, and as a side benefit, since it keeps the threads clean, the torque to break it free will be same, even if the fastener is exposed to harsh elements. You won't need an eight foot breaker bar, or a torch, to take off that rusty 1/2 inch bolt, even if the bolt is underneath your snow plow." A top down view of a Beam torque wrench, with slow motion at break point would have been very effective and everyone loves slow-mo. An graphical overlay of of the breaking torque would demonstrate how much difference it makes. @Gary Anderson Think of Blue LokTite 242, as a drop of glue to keep the nut from vibrating off when you don't want it to, but still breakable enough to take it off when you do. Blue is the most practical for most uses since you don't need a torch to break it loose. There are other products that prevent rusting threads such as anti-seize with copper, aluminum, nickel, graphite, or teflon, if you only want to prevent the threads from seizing up.

The moment I seen people the white jackets I knew I was listening to experts in their field...

Great concise and informative video, thank you.

Stopped the screws from falling out the bottom of my 12 year old MacBook Pro. Great stuff.

Good job. Kudos to the media staff.

Good Job man! ... just bought one...

Uses all his strength on the rust nut "Wow pretty ease" lmao 🤣

Woo! thanks for the info, it was helpful!

I find it VERY interesting they don’t to tell us that you should first clean your threads - or whatever - with alcohol or some kind of solvent (and let it fully dry before applying the Loctite, of course - I debated whether or not to add that, but this is KZfaq, so of course I need to add it). This is going to remove any oil or grease or anti-corrosive agent that might be on the surface (stuff like that is quite likely to be on nuts, bolts and screws, right? The answer is YES, it’s quite likely). Any of that crud will cause Loctite to fail miserably in its purpose. And let the Loctite cure before using the machine or item - that means at least 24 hours of inactivity but of course it all depends on temperature, humidity, blah blah blah. Yeah. So you came here to get good info from a video, but you had to read the comments to get anything really worthwhile, eh?

Cross-threading is nature's threadlocker.

Do they sell tubes of rust? I'll take a case please!

No table was harmed during the making of this video.

Wearing lab coats add true authenticity!👍

Thank you LOCTITE® :)

When using 242 on bicycle screws, do you need to use a primer or something to prevent seizing like with Park Tool's AP-1?

I just wanted to know how to open it!😂 Mine is all in Chinese or something like that. Cheers. I was thinking I had to cut some off or put a pin in there. I never would of thought to pull it. Very cool design.😊👍🏼 I use mine to put my pocket knives back together.

Can it be use on mini split AC refrigerant lines?

Pierce the tip? I have a small tube of Loctite 242. I'd love to apply it to some threads, but as hard as I squeeze the tube, nothing comes out. I look at it with a magnifying glass and don't see a hole at the tip. I don't see it mentioned anywhere, but are we supposed to find a pin and pierce the tip? Or snip the tip off?

So it stops it from loosening on its own but we can still tighten and loosen it ourselves after?

Trust me, Don't use the red loctite if you plan on removing a nut from a bolt with tools. Always use the blue loctite. A lot less cussing with blue.

What product should I use on a metal screw that will touch plastic (screw goes into metal but will pass through the plastic shell of a ski boot)?

can i use loctite 5400 as a sealant on a hydraulic hose joint

Is is possible to remove LOCTITE 243 residue from painted surface? I used Loctite 243 for the screws to attach black painted bar ends weights to the handlebars of my motorcycle. Unfortunately, I had some Loctite residue on my hands during assembly, which left some ugly fingerprints on the shiny black paint of the new bar end weights. Is it possible to remove the loctite residue from the bar end weights somehow without damaging the paint? Maybe with chemicals, heat or buffing?

Loctite 204 how do apply in the thread?

There are so many others though the orange loctite, and the green wicking grade one

They look like stainless bolts, with stainless and brass fasteners you should use an activator like lockquick in a spray can.

"Oh, Andrew is tall! Pan up! Not enough room! Zoom out!"

Can you use this to pre-threadlock bolts a few days before you use them?

Is there a product that can wick into where an inner and outer race of a sleeve/bushing bearing come together? It is a one-way type "bearing" that I want to lock so it is bidirectional. I have considered welding it.

Wow that was so easy to takeoff when I have it in a vice grip using a torque wrench

Thank you.

I remember people were arguing with me whether putting blue loctite on wheel lug nuts or bolts, would prevent it from coming off next time, they tell me you can’t take it off if you put loctite on it, lmao, I mean what boggles me is that people who argued with me already knows the difference between the red and the blue one and they used blue loctite on many parts on a regular basis but when it comes to something that doesn’t usually require loctite, they can’t think straight.

Very nice

Does Loctite threadlocker spoil? I mean, if it's a few years old but comes out liquid, it's still effective? Thanks.

whos table was that?lol I use it its great!

Oil from my oil drain pan is leaking from the drain bolt which Loctite should I use ?

If I use a low strength loctite like 222 instead of silver or copper anti-seize would it affect a fasteners torque specification.

@2:21 Pushes as hard as he could, then says "That's actually pretty easy"...lol

you have something on 660 loclite

Does this work on split rims alloy wheels?

Loctie 648 green has no solvent to remove ..just alot of heat. What would be a good replacement that could be removed by solvent or less heat. My gear is on an electrical motor shaft. Stainless shaft and aluminium gear with keyway. Worried about the high heat to remove 648. A solvent would be great to use everytime i need to replace the motor. The gear is protected from water in a gearbox but does have lucas red n tacky in it. Please help our comunity of people with the problem. A torch is the only way right now.

"Nut engagement area" 🤣

Yeah, a lot of experts... rust locked bolts may snap its head or break and you end scraping a part or having to machine a new thread...

In Russia Loctite tightens you

i want to stick my laptop base, is this best adhesive??

what's the difference between this 243 and 242???

Can you use Red Loctite 243 on brass nuts & bolts ??? 😮

"the nut engagement area" :)

I dont understand why doesn't the color of the liquid match the bottle.

How long does it take to cure??

Can I use on water pump bolts ?

Its all good.

Where am I supposed to buy 243 at? Everything on Amazon is knockoff

I heard for knife pivots that there are fewer metal ions transferring that can cause Loctite to stay uncured. I think in this video that part was not touched on very heavily is the importance of the ion transfer to act as an activator. Something like a stainless, dlc coatied, or titanium has less ion transfer. But, what you can do is after you clean the pivot and screws with isopropyl alcohol. You can put the Loctite directly on a copper penny to start that ion process as an activator. You can mix it around and then place the blue Loctite on your pivot screw and dial in your knife action and let it dry for over 24 hours and bang… You’ve got an action that won’t come loose.

This video is 95% of the way to being in Dr. Steve Brule territory

How do you poke a hole in the tube??????

This video just made loctite look like eazy off. I was here to research cure time, and overall dry time not to convince myself that loctite is designed to loc things tight but be easy to remove a bolt and nut it was used on? This video is very oxymoronic.

RIP Table

i like to use red all the time blue just seems to do nothing

probably coulda re-shot this one fellas

Wait. Mine is 242. Is that one worse?

Dry time ?

Loxeal THE BEST

You people are funny

I thought I was putting it on wrong for some reason lol

That moment when he tryed to screw the pop off cap off, we all knew he has never used it.

If you apply to the female threaded section you will achieve much better distribution of Loctite than applying to the male part 🤓

I found out if you get any crumbs of fake plastic wood in your threads, the only way to remove the nut would be to cut it off.

Question I just use lock tight on my motorcycle exhaust now I was trying to take it out to to put the exhaust to the right angle and my nuts strip out now I can’t take the out

opening it up is strangely not completely obvious for someone who never used it before, should have been mentioned

Slapstick loctite who would haven thought!

Why do I never hear or see people degreasing before they apply threadlocker , I fly rc heli and work with Loctite at least once a week I feel using brake clean a must and prefer the ford product I can tell you that get a bit of a trouble spot and don't do everything perfect in your construction and you crash . Also witnessed someone remove red Loctite with a 24 hr soak in CRC degreaser if that helps anyone oh ya heat also works but it must get 500 degrees to carburize unless it is high heat stuff

why are these guys wearing safety glasses

I could only find blue loctite in paste form (it's in an applicator stick now, like lipstick). Why have you done this when the liquid would be far superior for gap filling and also curing 😡

camera work made me dizzy while obscuring what needed to be seen.

What's different between 245 and 265?

It would have been better if it wasn't like an infomercial.

That last bolt was red locker 😄

My 242 is like oil. I barely see blue.

U WANT TO LOOSEIN ANYTHING WITH RED THREAD LOCK JUST ADD GASALINE IT EATS UP THE THREAD LOCKER I CLEANED MY BLOCK WITH GASALINE AFTER I dropped inserts in my block guess what when I checked to see if the threadlock was holding 8 of my inserts came out so ha don't clean your area with gasoline before or after you insert the threadlock I used the red one 272

You should have included instructions for opening the bottle. It is not intuitive!

It is SO important to wear goggles when using wild, untamed bolts like this. In the past they have been known to jump off the table or work area and go right for the eyes. If you ever want a poster child for what has happened to modern society, it is this: guys pretending to be nuclear engineers all decked out like they're digging for carrots near Chernobyl.

What is your daughters name if you have one

Just crossthread it, AKA "the Kentucky lockwasher"

Why are you talking down to us? I don't have a white lab coat either!

"threads don't hold as well as you'd think. Which is why you need a threadlocker product." Ya know, with any other brand, i'd call that a load of bull, but i genuinely agree with that statement

The tall guy is delicious

i thought the whole idea was so the nut would never come off.

I am now smarter
