There is a difference between threadlock and high strength retainer.
I use threadlock on parts metal to metal as described, the screws should come undone with moderate pressure but will not vibrate loose. High strength retainer is much tougher and needs force to undo screws. If you have snapped the allen keys then as already stated, i too suspect that your tools arent up to scratch. Ive only ever snapped the smallest AF wrench when using EDS tools.
The threadlock i use is a pink colour, high strength retainer is green ( Loctite brands )
