Enquiring minds want to know.

Comment may have been slightly tongue in cheek.

My sarcastic sense of humor got the best of me.

Blue if you must use red I would only use in auto motive repairs.

I will bite based on my years as a millwright

Blue if you want to take it apart again with simple hand tools sized to the job

Red if it's semi permanent and you don't mind using heat, breaker bars, or impact wrenches

I am not a chainsaw wizard but I am not sure of anything on a saw that would need red

I am sure someone with way more saw smarts will school me though

Heck I'm a husqvarna guy and even I know blue or red it doesn't matter. The screws are still going to rattle out! Better to safety wire them all!

Blue is all I'll ever use on a chain saw it does exactly what you said you can still take them apart without having to go to the big tool's.lol

Blue 242/243 genuine loctite brand is what I use when I need it. Red loctite I usually only use on carb screws. The best thing you can do is check all the screws after the first heat cycle. Never lost a screw doing that.

Just curious...

Which carb screws do you use red on?

The one that holds the butterfly in

i use blue sometimes, but generally just tightening screws properly has been good enough for me. actually used permatex anaerobic sealer on screws a few times. even if they loosen slightly, they dont tend to back all the way out.

 

[Deets066]

Somtimes I use blue, but only because I don’t want to tighten the screws to much and risk stripping out the threads.

 

[shadco]

Well at least Dan and Steven get it.

A dab of moto seal works for me.Nothing on the muffler bolts.

Blue for general assembly and red only for something to never be turned back again, like thread repair inserts for example.

 

[dmb2613]

huskies may need the red lol

 

[huskyboy]

Jb weld works good on thread inserts too

 

[Nutball]

These modern saws are supposed to be "green" right? So, use green

Didn’t think about thread inserts

Makes sense

Thanks
