Review on 🚽 Kohler Genuine Part GP84995 Flapper (Hinge) - Multicolor, 2-Inch by David Hill

Kohler seems to have finally fixed the worst valve design in plumbing history. Previous generations of this damper (the only damper that fits some Kohler models) were made from a single piece of plastic, including a thin plastic axle that the damper pivots around. Over time, the plastic around the pivots and levers deformed, and the damper no longer stopped the flow of water into the canal. This problem has had me buying a new faucet about every year as Kohler designs that use this part usually have the reservoir built into the toilet and you have to replace the entire faucet to use a different one. Mute. This new design has a massive shaft that acts as the pivot for the shock and it appears that the arms that attach to that pivot have been strengthened. It works great so far. I will update this review if I notice any issues with the new design.
