I'm going to partially disagree and leave it at that. Plenty of other threads that debate this topic w/o this into another one.

I would not push back on your response and would love to hear how your experience is different than mine. I could learn something.
We'll have to agree to disagree. IME (sample of one person), blue locktite minimizes if not outright prevents recoil from loosening rings AND mounts. 15-18 inch pounds really isn't that much. I can twist down MUCH tighter than that (marking the tubes) with just average hand strength. And the wrench prevents breaking 6x mount screws - which oughta be 8x.
No need with blue loctite & I use my Fat Wrench to hit the same (appropriate) values repeatedly on action screws, bases, rings, etc. YMMV.
