Review on 🚽 DANCO Toilet Handle Replacement - Chrome Finish, 8 inch - 1-Pack (80806): Find the Perfect Replacement for Your Toilet Handle! by Andy Edwards

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The plumber is here. This is complete fake garbage. Broke just installed!

I used to own a successful general contractor. I have been a house technician and craftsman for many years. I have literally installed thousands of toilets and toilet flush handles. It seems like you can't find a decent flush handle at your local hardware store these days so I searched the internet and found this one. It reminded me of the real chrome and solid brass old ones I've seen for decades. God I've been cheated! This thing isn't real alloy. The arm looks like brass, but it's only painted to look like brass. It's not brass. The arm is made out of extruded powdered aluminum I think. It is very ribbed and not flexible. It is very brittle and has no flexibility. When I tried to install it I couldn't because my hand touched the front edge of the toilet bowl. All new dressers have a curved tank surface, so you should have a handle that adjusts to the size of the tank. I thought the arm was brass which is malleable and flexible and tried to shape it to fit. After a slight squeeze, the arm snapped in half like it was made of cheap plastic. I think plastic would actually be a lot stronger than that. Result. The thing is complete garbage. If you don't have an old-style square cistern toilet with a flat, straight front, you can't install this thing. Even if you do and install this thing, I doubt it will last very long. It's made of such poor material that I think it's going to snap before you even know it. A cheap plastic pen will last longer than this thing.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
