Excellent purchase. Looks good. Easy to install with a thumb for a DIYer

I was hesitant to buy this replacement pin at first because I am a person who knows the theory of this type of repair but with a 55 year old track record. even the simplest mechanical tasks. There were enough parts in this pen to bother me. Will my inner fool be set free? However, with the help of the videos here on Revain, installation was a breeze. It took less than 5 minutes. The only issue not addressed in the video has little to do with the stylus. It depends on the type of my particular…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Lots of things

Garbage. Don't buy this.

EXTREMELY POOR CONSTRUCTION Although this part appears to match the original toilet lever and did not take long to install, it is useless for toilet flushing. Once installed you have to push down very hard to activate the lever and then it stays in the down position and the water keeps flowing into the tank until you fiddle with it, wait for the tank to fill up, and then another little fiddling around . My 87 year old mom will never be able to handle this properly so our tank will run all night

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Without machine

Highly recommended! Beautiful, functional and durable.

Anyone wondering if this will work in a Mansfield flush valve? Yes, that's right! I've had problems with this toilet since I bought the house 2 years ago - the chain kept falling off. I did a little research and found that the chain can't be used - you need an arm long enough to slip through the loop hole on the purge valve. And you can't just get any replacement - it has to be long enough. It worked. My first attempt at fixing something like this was easy (the hardest part was tightening the…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Protection

Looks good and feels good. Doesn't work well unless modified.

The handle is attractive enough to make you feel safe. However, the travel allowed by the built-in handle stopper is not sufficient to raise the flap far enough for it to stay open after the handle is released. As a result, when the handle is pressed, the flap opens and the flushing begins. But as soon as the handle is released, the flap closes completely and the flush stops. You just can't move the handle far enough to start the flush properly. I had to modify the built-in stop with a grinding

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Security

No return spring in grip

I bought 2 of these in August 2018 and have been unhappy ever since. Installation first: With the universal fit and swing arm, I was never able to properly tighten the brass machine screw. It kept failing. So I got some stainless steel machine screws with a countersunk hex head and stainless steel locknuts. This modification allowed the screw to stay in place. The first problem is solved. . .like, sort of, something like. These bronze knobs are much heavier than standard knobs and they didn't…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model
