Lol, good to see you are paying attention, you passed! Yes, that didn’t come out right did it? I meant I had seen some with a double “T” on the first “T”, at first glance you didn’t register it.
I suppose patenting the bottle means you can stop the sale no matter how creative they get with names that are similar, or the product inside? I agree, if someone wants to copy the bottle they can but it is easier to size the shipment I suppose? Any customs guys on here care to make a comment, that would be interesting?

This thread has gone full circle.
and I just noticed seize is spelled incorrectly in the title so I'm thinking maybe the thread as well as the threadlock is counterfeit.

Hmm, maybe you are counterfeit…..a lower case “a” after a full stop and start of a new sentence? Lol.

the Wera hex keys are in my opinion the best. The flats are slightly "cupped" which puts fhe force on the points of the hex fitting, like a snap on "flank drive" wrench.
they are available as hex keys and 1/4" bits. Really great for fittings like you are describing

yup, that will do it. probably not a hardened bolt either.
