Can i use this on a motor scooter on the nut that holds the steering wheel on so I can get many miles as it would possibly vibrate allot on the road?

Yes, LOCTITE Threadlockers prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibration. LOCTITE 242 or LOCTITE 243 are both our medium strength blue Threadlocker. We also have LOCTITE 263 which is our high-strength red Threadlocker.

Great value for the money

We went all over to get some lock tight and found it was really expensive for the size. We were able to get the larger size off Amazon for a better price then the smaller bottles as Ace Hardware or Walmart.Best value for the money

Product works

Great stuff for automotive needs. Bottle is a good size if you use it often on older car/trucks that need some hold on the bolts.
