LoctiteAutomotive Thread Treatment Stick Assortment Kit - Versatile Uses, Convenient, Easy Application - 5 Sticks, 1 Pack

These "thread treatment sticks" as they refer to them are exceptionally handy to have around the shop. I've used Loctite for decades from the little dispensing tubes - and more often than not wasted at least half the tube squeezing too much out or squeezing it out and having it miss the threads entirely as I was trying to work under a vehicle or in a crowded engine bay.The sticks are much more handy. Stick one somewhere where it is secure and it is a quick maneuver to swipe the threads across it to easily coat them with the appropriate compound. Blue is a medium duty thread locker that will keep things from vibrating loose, but will come loose with a solid twist from a hand wrench. Red is a heavy duty thread locker that will only release with applied heat or with an impact wrench - or a hand wrench and a bit of muscle. White is a non-drying pipe sealant which I find very useful for the threads on my air tool quick disconnects - much easier to use than teflon tape. Silver is standard anti-seize while copper is high temperature anti-seize.The sticks are so much more convenient than the usual tubes or jars of these products. I took a piece of 2x4 and bored a few holes in it so that I can set a couple open sticks into it so that I can swipe various fasteners through the material single-handedly without tipping the sticks over. That way the appropriate fasteners can get their coating of the appropriate threadlocker or anti-seize without skipping a beat.

Great product and simple to use.No more leaky bottles in my tool box.Also the antislip is solid so no more seperating with oil at the top of the tin and the copper at the bottom.As its from Loctite you know the chemistry will be top rate too so it will do the job for sure.

I have used Loctite for a long time. It seems like the price on it has risen dramatically. These stick are great. The liquid loctite can be messy if you aren't careful. With the sticks no worry of that. They make all of their products in stick form. I bought the set. It has the larger sticks in it. I took a bit away because of the price.

I love this product. I own a brand of dirt bike known for rattling loose nuts and bolts from vibration. I use the blue stick all the time as I perform maintenance and it works great. So much cheaper than buying small tubes and the sticks last forever.

Buena experiencia, buen producto

Everything a mechanic needs, without having all those little bottles and cans leaking every where. The sticks allow precise application of thread sealer or anti-seize. The sticks don't leak or spill, the y don't have nozzles that clog... they are perfect. No waste!They were a good deal before but now with the new low price you can afford to get two kits!, buy this and you will not be sorry.

I bought this kit during an Amazon sale so it was a very good deal to me. My only gripe is that there was little or no product information included. I guess the target buyer is supposed to be an engineer or mechanic. Otherwise you are just required to guess which product to use on which material or application. I wanted anti-seize for use on my boat but, after contacting Loctite, I was told that they do not make a product for marine use.

Being a Automotive Repair shop. Owner i have found the treatment sticks work better. than the liquid kind its easier to use and apply were liquid would be hard to get to.
