I have been wondering for a long time about all the ways to block a nut/bolt.
What are the pros and cons of each way, are there specific/recommended uses? Are there uses that are no-nos? Basically, when should I use which one?
Here are the "nut blockers" I can think of right now and wonder about, maybe I forget some:
Loctite blue and red, lock washers, Nylstop, 2 nuts tight against each other, ...

I do not include here castle nut and cotter pins, these have specific application, so I am not wondering about those.
