One thing which will never be retracted for screw locking because it works: a pair of nuts locked against each other :) |

That works as long as the tension between the nuts is much greater than the tension on the bolt. The usual two-wrench technique ensures this, normally... |

Slight marring of the male threaded portion works well, just a squeeze with a pair of pliers is sufficient. |
