Review on Delta DF509W Exposed Residential Assist by Adam Bonde

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good rod, very bad mounting screws

As a washcloth/handrail holder this is fine although the edges of the holder are a bit sharp and would be more comfortable if they were slightly rounded. This is IF you can install it correctly. The problem is that the mounting screws are too soft and come loose too easily. I placed mine by the door, and even after drilling a pilot hole in the rack with the recommended size bit, I had trouble working with the screws. I used the drill at the lowest possible speed to turn the screws, and yet they quickly came loose and were then extremely difficult, if not impossible, to remove. Because they are white, hardened replacement parts are hard to find, even at a large hardware store. Installation in drywall with expanders is possible, but the result will not necessarily support the weight of an adult.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Low repairability
