Moen R8712P 12-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar, Peened

Great addition to our antique bathroom.

I recently renovated my bathroom and one of the smartest things I did was place grab bars around the room. People dont like to talk about it, maybe because theyre ashamed they need the help, but my life was made considerably easier when this was installed next to the toilet in order to assist me to stand up. I got older, my knees got very bad, my back is in constant pain, my balance is sometimes off -- any one of these should be enough to push one to install a grab bar. I used to DREAD standing up just knowing the pain that was about to shoot through my knees, I wondered if I was going to have to call someone to help me. Isnt that more humiliating than using a grab bar? As far as this specific grab bar, Im quite happy. My contractor told me it installed easily, I havent had any issues, its firmly attached and strong enough to handle any pressure or weight Ive put on it. Its a nice white and the screws are hidden, which is a nice touch in my opinion. Im not glad that I have to use a grab bar but Im very pleased that I have this one.

Good looking and sturdy.

This thing is a beast. Installed it near stairs to my garage and it is awesome.

I like that the mounting flanges have elongated screw holes, so that you can position the mounting screws where theyll do the most good. I was a bit disappointed with the paint job. It looked hastily done, with just barely enough paint at the ends to cover whats not hidden by the end caps. But once installed, the bar is sturdy and looks ok. To install this bar, youll want a stud finder to be sure youre mounting the bar securely. I installed this on a tiled wall, and a 3/16 glass and tile drill bit gave me suitably-sized holes in the tile. Once mounted, youll want to apply some bathroom tub and tile caulk around the inside of the end caps to keep moisture out. Now begins the test of time. Well see what condition its in in ten years.

Moen R8718PS grab bars installed easily, look great. Installed one at entry to tub at an angle, one at rear of tub horizontally, but should have ordered a third to install vertically at left side of shower wall for complete safe use of tub.

Love these, bought. 3 to place around shower, didn’t think we would use them but we certainly do. And the peened part helps so your hands do not slide. Good price too.

I have fallen twice, and now I have to use old-folks remedies. This isn’t the prettiest grab-bar on the internet, but it is very strong, supporting my weight (235lb) easily. One of my falls set off my Apple Watch, so this bar is a necessity. The bar comes with two longish wood screws per connection. My wife had me use three, so I figure it will last as long as the wall now.

Since I had become unstable with my current cancer situation I had to put it in grab bars to help me assist myself up and down off the toilet and bathtub. I already had a towel bar in the location of this new grab bar so I just change them out had drill three new holes and mount. It was a very easy after my assistance where is how to use a drill it was a very easy after my assistance where is how to use a drill

I purchased a 24 inch and a 12 inch Moen grab bar. Following the installation instructions, the 24 inch bar went up very easily. The screws for the 12 inch bar, however, were very soft. The drive slots for a #2 U.S. Phillips screw driver are not cut deep enough. Because the screw is so soft, the drive strips in the screw. The bar is nice, but you may want to use harder screws. I had some on hand so it wasnt a problem.
