That hammer you have looks like a "dead blow" hammer which is a tough plastic hammer filled w/ many round steel balls inside that move around a bit inside;is that the type of orange colored hammer you have in the image you posted ?

Yes, that hammer with relatively soft surface is very useful.
Last time I used it for bending the small plates under my new CB750 tank tank keeping the trims in place. The weight helps to bend or put things in place. Useful as support as well. Used it under the front part of engine during the restore... help engine/swing arms bolts in place as well...
About thread lock as Loctite. Use it with care. I had huge problems removing the clutch nut when it got Loctite back in the days. I had to grind it off completely and brake it wide open with force with my orange hammer and chisel after grinding it open. Cannot been blue 243.
I have used blue 243 when the threads feels weak. Last time I repaired with new threads heli coil type. Cam chain tensioner housing with 3 bolts and the middle long M6 bolts on head and head cover.
M6 threads in alu will fail, if not torquing them, when removing when the soft metal is stuck on the bolt.
My cheap grey low cost thread coils worked much better than expensive purple or blue from famous brand. The latter one got a leftover when braking the thread off so the bolt bottomed in threads. No problems with the cheap ones.
Threads for the exhaust bolts (M8) got copper paste as heat safe lubrication.
