Works great on small removable screws.

Works great on sight threads, action cover plate screws and ejector button threads. I was glad to find it. Degrease the threads with alcohol before using. A S&W wheelgunner’s friend. I also used a very small amount on Ruger pins.

Reliable Threadlocker for Securing Aluminum Parts

he Loctite 222 Threadlocker for Automotive (High-Temperature, Low-Strength, Anaerobic, One-Piece Assembly, Non-Corrosive, Purple, 6 ml Tube) has proven to be indispensable for my projects, especially when it comes to securing screws on aluminum parts. Given that many stores nearby do not carry this specific Loctite product, I was pleased to find it online.As with all Loctite products, it worked exactly as described. The low-strength formula is perfect for applications where easy disassembly is required, yet it still provides enough hold to keep screws securely in place under high temperatures and vibrations. The non-corrosive nature of the threadlocker also ensures that it does not damage the metal surfaces, maintaining the integrity of the components.For anyone needing a reliable threadlocker for automotive applications, especially on aluminum parts, I highly recommend the Loctite 222. It’s a trustworthy and effective solution for locking and sealing screws. 🚗🔩🛠️

Works well with watch bracelets

This did the job securing screws on my wristwatch. Well worth the money!

Loose nuts

Nuts go on and stay tight. But easy to remove if (like me) make a mistake or make changes. Now my scopes stay in place and hold even under hard use pig hunting. I will never go back to other products I’ve tried.

Good stuff

I use a lot of the Loctite 242 variant for various projects and thought I would get this variant for a 3D printer build I am doing. So far it's working great and I will purchase more.I was going to purchase a large bottle of this but it seems there are a lot of phony versions of this on Amazon in the large size, so I purchased the small size and it seems to be the real deal and seems to work like it's supposed to.

Just enough hold

Perfect for securing a walking cylinder pin on the S&W 686 plus.

It just works

Simply put, Space-X likely uses this stuff on their spacecraft.

perfect for low adhesion applications

Not as popular as 243, which will certainly prevent screws from coming undone and make a semi-permanent bond. On the other hand, 222 is relatively low adhesion, but nevertheless provides a coating.Now, if you have ever come back to a screw years later and tried to undo it, only to find it has seized up, then this is the product for you. Just a drop when putting in the screws provides a thin coating that will prevent the screw from seizing up and make it a pleasure to remove when the time comes.Additionally, it provides a thin coating on the threads of the screws to provide rust inhibition. I use this on any screws that may be exposed to humidity or significant temperature changes that can result in them seizing up to prevent problems in the future!Try it yourself now and thank me later!
