Stick is very handy.

Good for keeping screws in and nuts on bolts. Put it on the threads of the screw and wait the full 24 hours to be sure it's set. This stick version is really nice, lets you just roll a screw on the top instead of dealing with a liquid. Been using their stuff for many years. Make sure you get the right strength for the size of your screws. - Low strength - purple/loctite 222 (liquid) is for up to 1/4" screws Med strength - blue/loctite 243 (liquid) & 248 (stick) is for 1/4" to 3/4" screws High strength - red/loctite 263 (liquid) is for up to 1" screws Purple you can take the screw back out with just a hand tool. Blue you may need some sort of leverage. Red you'll want to heat up a little bit before trying to remove the screw. Stay within the manufacturer's suggested strength for your screw size to avoid risking stripping/damage. I've stripped a few screws in the past thinking that it would be fine, but the screws were softer than I expected. Not worth the risk/headache.

Great addition to knife kit

This is just what i was looking for. I had been using the regular locktite in the squeeze bottle, and it worked for my purposes, locktite is a great product. However, i saw this while watching a pocket knife maintenance video on you tube and thought, I Need This. Anyone who has ever used a pocket knife on a daily basis knows, screws just come loose, especially during a break in period, as did mine on the clip. I cant tell you what a great addition this is to knife maintenance kit. I dont have to worry about blue goop running everywhere, i just simply dip the screw in the stick and then put the screw back in where it was was and problem is solved. This product seems to hold the screws in just as good if not better than the goop in the tube. I love it, and would surely buy it again.

Best "tool" ever!

This threadlock stick is one of my favorite "tools" in the toolbox. The squeeze bottle of threadlocker is messy and hard to use. The stick is easy and convenient. Just swipe the threads of a bolt before you install it -- the stick threadlock stays in place and doesn't harden until the bolt is installed. I find that liquid threadlocker crumbles when you remove it and has to be completely replaced each time you touch the bolt. The stick threadlock stays in place and is still partly effective after breaking the lock. For non-critical locations, or small bolts that only need a little protection, you can often reinstall the bolt without reapplying the threadlocker and still get some protection. Threadlocker in general also provides good protection against corrosion.

No mess less fuss.

If you are tired of your liquid loctite running down the bolt before you can thread it in or picking it up to find a blue spot underneath where it all leaked out, look no further. This is like loctite chapstick. Take the lid off and run the bolt across it and you are done. No more mess or drips. Works great.

Cleanliness!

This is the way to go for threadlocker. I’ve used liquid for years and years, but finally got tired of making a mess and bought the paste. Wish I had done that simple swap years ago. Gone are the days of blue and red fingers, leaks all over my work bench and toolbox drawers, and ziplock bags full of half used tubes that are colored like a melted bag of M&M’s. Goes onto bolts by quickly spinning them across the top chapstick style tube. If I need it on the inside of a nut, I just scrape a little with my pocket screwdriver or tip of my knife and slap it in. Yes, that’s not as convenient as dropping it on, but it’s cleaner in the end.

'Blue' is nice compromise between keeping bolts tight and getting then off ...

I had one of these as a free sample from a trade journal mailing list. Couldn't use it at work because it didn't have the right pedigree and certification papers so I took it home. Well now it's about 10 years later and I am buying another. Much easier to use than the liquid and less of it spills so it lasts about as long as a medium sized bottle. It's worth the extra money versus the liquid, don't worry about the weight differential. Just roll the screw around on the end of the stick and you're done. 'Blue' is nice compromise between keeping bolts tight and getting then off later. I use it for nearly everything on my Jeep to keep them from rattling loose on the trail. 'Red' is very strong and you will ruin small bolts, larger bolts 3/8 and up will require heat to loosen, blue - no heat and no ruined bolts. Stick with the Locktite brand, I tried a few other brands (of liquid) but they didn't seem to work quite as well.

Great alternative to the liquid Loctite!

This stick is awesome and definitely a must have for those who need to secure their fasteners. Anyone who's worked with Loctite or any other kind of threadlocker for more than 3 seconds knows how much of a pain the liquid is and how it gets on everything involved in the fastening process. The stick is just like the glue stick from your childhood. Just rub a bit of Loctite into the threads of your fastener and, Presto!, you have secured fasteners with little to no mess.

The high price is nutty, but it’s so handy and easy to use.

In a word +Convenience+. This beats the pants off using liquid threadlock. Overall, I’ve found that Loctite brand threadlock works better than any other that I’ve tried. It doesn’t pay to economize. This stuff is ridiculously expensive. Alas, it’s so much nicer to use, doesn’t drip all over the place, so I am willing to pay the big price difference between this and the liquid version. I keep a tube of this in my on-board motorcycle tool kit, as well. This is a solid product, and I certainly recommend it.

Doesn't drip where you don't want it.

Non-dripping threadlocker. I had been using the liquid version of threadlocker until I had an accident with an expensive piece of equipment. I accidentally dripped threadlocker into the workings of the equipment. I had to take it to a professional to get it functioning again. After that accident, I discovered the stick threadlocker and have been using it ever since. It works the same as the liquid but eliminates the risk of dripping where you don't want it.

Must have tool!

One each of these in both Red and Blue reside in each of my trail bags. It's nice to know that nothing will fall apart once you get your hands on it. It doubles as antiseize too so that things always come back apart the when you want it to. This chapstick style makes it 1000x easier to use. No one should be without a set. 2020 Edit: This is still a must. I now own a 20 acre farm and I will not ever be without it. Invaluable on the farm as well as in the Trail bag. This is a lifesaver.!!! Buy a few.
