> 24 hourThis was the second time my sink had collapsed, and Id previously been unable to find a good solution. Im so happy I came across this product. It was pretty simple to install, the only problem being access under the sink. I wasnt able to use the front piece because of the design of my layout, but even with just the two side supports in place, Im pretty confident the sink isnt going to move again. It makes sealing very simple, you can adjust it to leave a gap, apply the sealant, then simply wind the sink upwards against the counter top.

> 24 hourHIGHLY recommend; with an undermount sink that fell right out of the granite countertop, I didnt know how to fix it. This made it easy and my sink is now fixed and rock solid. For anyone that doesnt have experience in such things, it was easy to install, with a great instructional video. Im extremely happy I didnt have to pay hundreds of dollars for a repair, and would absolutely recommend this sink repair system to anyone

> 24 hourSometimes you find a tool thats just perfect for the task at hand. When the subcontractor installed the counters and sink in my new home, the keyhole slots in the granite counter for the undermount sink clips did not line up properly with the cabinets. So the installer left half the slots empty, with nothing supporting one of the two basins. Two years later its sagging on one side. I envisioned fabricating something similar to this device, so I was really happy to find this ready made. It would have taken five minutes to install, but the disposal was in the way, so I fiddled for all of 10 minutes to install it. Screw the mounting plate in position, tighten the turnbuckle by hand, then tighten the lock nut and youre done. Just be careful not to overtighten the turnbuckle, because unlike with clips youre not snugging the sink to the counter, youre exerting upward pressure on both sink and counter. After snugging it up by hand to the point where the new caulk squeezed out I marked the turnbuckle with a pencil and tightened another 1/8 turn. Great product.

> 24 hourWe used these to install a heavy, 167 lb, farmhouse sink. Pro: It was easy to install, just four screws. Easy to adjust. Appears to be sturdy and strong. Con: Allows the under-counter farmhouse sink to shift around. The Never Fall has a T shape; that is, a long vertical rod topped by a shorter horizontal piece. These two pieces are joined in such a way that the top bar rotates on the vertical bar. The under-counter farmhouse sink is installed by sliding it into place, not by dropping it into a hole; so the Never Fall does not keep the sink in place, rather it lets the sink pivot out of the cabinet and onto the floor. This review might be a little unfair because the device is not sold as a tool for installing sinks, only repairing them. But it seemed like it would work for installation too. It does not.

> 24 hourIn almost 20 years, this is only my second Amazon review. This product is so perfect, I just had to leave a review. My undermount sink was pulling away from the granite. I stressed about it for months and wasnt really sure what to do about it. I was afraid to hire some local handyman who could accidentally crack my granite countertops. Long story short, I had these installed and my sink was fixed in less than 30 minutes from the time they were delivered on my doorstep. Im not a handyman, Im a computer programmer by trade. The instructions are simple, well written, and in perfect English! These things are so easy to install, so sturdy, and make so much sense! I dont know why they arent required by code to begin with! For the price, theres no reason to wait for your undermount sink to fail. Just go ahead and buy these and never worry about it again.

> 24 hourThis product works as advertised. The glued brackets under the granite counter supporting the sink failed and I didnt want to risk any drilling into the stone or hiring an expert. This product was the best solution to my problem and worked great!

> 24 hourWhen I noted that the glue holding the under sink had separated from the counter, I thought that I would have a difficult job on my hand to make it right again. Until I was told about these sink repair devices. Upon looking at the items, I knew that they would do the job for me and it was a no brainier to get sink repair system. It only took some new adhesive, a drill/screwdriver and a steady hand to place the item in place. A few hours for the adhesive to dry and the sink is better than new. I would recommend this to anyone in a similar situation.

> 24 hourMy wide double undermount sink, held up by TWO (2) clips total (!!) glued to the granite, one on either side, was sagging badly in the middle. This would have been the second time I needed to replace the separating caulk in 2 years. So instead I ripped out the old caulk, put one of these babies at the back and front to support the middle, and slapped some more silicone in the now perfectly even gap! ^_^ It does what it says!! Due to an extra bit of 2x4 or maybe 1x4 (idk, do I sound like I know what Im talking about?) inside my sink cabinet, probably the Y2K custom carpentry contractor special, I wasnt able to use the cute little ratchet support. But never fear, one of the long boys works just as well and is practically invisible unless you stick your head into the cabinet. Thanks for replenishing my faith in humanity and myself with this awesomely sturdy product!! Now to figure out what to do with the remaining brackets (can I send em back to you?) -A New Fan

> 24 hourAfter fifteen years the epoxy brackets on the rear of the sink started letting go. Nearly impossible to replace them without removing all the plumbing including the disposal. Bought a set of these and in less than an hour from start to finish I was done. I first cleaned and replaced the sealant around the sink then propped it up using a 20 or so 1×6 to protect the cabinet base from getting damaged. I then used a small bottle jack with a T made out of a 2×4 and then propped up the sink. I immediately cleaned up the sealant before attaching the brackets. Propping the sink also keeps you from having to extend the brackets more than 1/2 or so keeping it from any sort of bending. I did a quick placement off each bracket and drew two rough lines. I removed the bracket from the turnbuckle and drew my lines making sure they were plumb. I then attached the bracket to the cabinet wall and the adhesive backing made it a breeze to predrill my screw holes. I then reattached the turnbuckle. Turned it roughly 4 or 5 turns till snug and tightened up the lockup. Even though my front brackets seemed fine I used the front mounting bracket and that was even easier to install. Very satisfied.

> 24 hourMy undermount sink had fallen in from my granite countertop. It was originally installed with only epoxy and no hardware. I called plumbers who wanted nothing to do with it, and contractors as well. They recommended a granite installation place. The company that installed my countertop and sink 6 years ago wanted $250 (a discounted rate they claimed) to come out and epoxy it back up. I figured for around $40 I could try this. I was able to install it myself (although I did disconnect the garbage disposal and most of the plumbing to do so). It was relatively easy. I would recommend buying two kits so that you can use one of the other mounts on the rear center of the sink. Maybe the other could be used on the front center as well. The front center mount was very difficult to install in my tiny cabinet, but in the end I made it work. If you are semi-handy, or know someone who is, this is an excellent option to avoid a very costly repair. I feel confident that this will keep my sink in place. If I ever have another undermount sink installed I will insist on this or similar hardware as part of the install.
