Loctite 277 442-21434 10ml High Strength Threadlocker, Red Color

Purchased this for various projects around the garage. Something that should be in ever toolbox is red and blue loctite.

What I needed and saved running around looking at auto parts stores who may or may not have had it!

Does what it’s intended to do. I work as a technician and i prefer Loctite brand over Permatex due to the gel type consistency. It holds up in the bottle better over time in my opinion.

This stuff is comically strong. Don’t put it on anything you ever want to remove again.

Note to buyers: if you buy this stuff. Test before you trust it to hold anything critical. I have used this product at work, and it is typically great stuff and holds solid. But either I got a counterfeit product or it is seriously past its expiration date (the use by date on the bottle states Jan 2019). The liquid was more like a gel. It was very very viscous and difficult to get out of the bottle. Also it doesnt ever seem to fully cure. I tested some since I was uncertain about it because of the high viscosity. I put two nuts on a piece of threaded rod, and tightened them together. Both had loctite applied. After 3 days at room temperature to cure, I tried to remove the nuts. After breaking them loose with a pair of cresent wrenches, I was able to spin the nuts off by hand. There was some resistance, about the same as typical for dirty/greasy threads. but for high strength thread locker, I should think I should not be able to spin them by hand, and with no heat applied either. Also, after a I removed the nuts, I checked the residual threadlocker on the thread rod. It was still semi-liquid. even after 3 days it wasnt cured. I repeated my test and let it sit for a full week (7 days). exactly the same results.

Great product... although my purchase was tainted by the photo of the bottle that is currently being used on the product page... the bottle in the photo says 50ml/1.69 oz. BEWARE, the bottle that you are purchasing is 10ml/.34 oz.. Makes the purchase confusing. It would be nice if the seller would change the photo to reflect the actual product!

I had built a motorized bike,have $975 in the thing. Any how when I went up hill the sprocket on the back rim would come unscrewed spent $175 on the rim and gear setup that screwed onto the axel. That company had me spiting bullets. Then I remembered all those different types of loctite. Be sure to check the chart for all the different applacations, youll be glad you did. Those guys at loctite know there stuff.

Works well. Just wish that it was available in a small quantity. Just needed it for one special, large, bolt.
