Review on πŸ› Moen 8912 Stainless Steel 12-Inch Grab Bar for Home Bathrooms by Byron Howell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy bathroom safety bar, tools and accessories

Advantages: Multiple mounting options, clear instructions, comes with the necessary bolt mounting hardware, and offers multiple mounting options. It comes with six screws to attach to the studs; This can be a disadvantage for those who need to mount to a wall plate. Wall panel anchors must be purchased separately. You will also need a stud finder and spirit level for proper vertical or horizontal installation. The instructions say a 1/8" bit, but I had to use a 9/64" bit with silicone grease to get all the screws in. Down with my drill. Do not try to tighten the screw with a drill, you risk tearing off the head. Take the screw out, re-drill the hole, and run the bit in and out a few times to enlarge everything a bit. Be sure to drill all pilot holes before installing the handrail. Also, you'll need an extension cord to attach the screwdriver to the drill so the drill doesn't hit the handrails. The installation went smoothly. The handrail is reliable and attractive.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • There are flaws
