The only solution to the problem which I would trust would be continuous maintenance and a design that doesn't rely on thread strength to maintain a joint.

- pbhjpbhj 12y agoYes, all holds need testing but it's reduces the maintenance cost if the holds don't need tightening all the time, surely? Also if the expectation value for loosening is lower per unit time it means there is less likelihood (other values being constant) that the hold has loosened since testing, with the same testing regime that makes it safer so far as I can see.
- bronson 12y agoSince the customers typically tighten loose holds themselves, I would guess that the maintenance cost is vanishingly small. It's definitely safer than a plain nut, agreed, but is it noticeably safer than any of the other thread locking solutions out there?
