"Hochfest" the type that is very difficult to open.

The Chinese are ripping off a legitimate European/American company and regardless of the problems we are in at present I will not buy it and will in future try my best to support manufacturing much closer to home.

I can't say whether it's fake or not however I never buy these types of products on Ebay or Amazon in which there are full of fake products.

Try it out , you have nothing to loose .

I disagree. If as per the You Tube video the fake stuff breaks the lock at a higher ft/lb or N/m torque you risk if needing to at a later time disassembling the componet either rounding the nut of its corners or overstraining the stud. And possibly shearing the stud. Both aren't good. Additionally the purpose of some threadlock is not so much as to lock the bolt to its stud or bolt but to ensure that the things can at a laater time be undone by stopping water ingressing into the union that then gradually rusts the two solid. Threadlock's purpose on some components isn't just about doing a thing up but also, sometimes, about later undoing it.

I assume most guys on here will not use these bottles before they go out of date. Here is the legitimate product that isn't going to break the bank or your heart when it goes off.

10ml = £10.33
