2 Pack 24 Inch Shower Grab Bar, ZUEXT Chrome Stainless Steel Bathroom Grab Bar Handle, Bathroom Shower Balance Bar, Safety Hand Rail Support, Handicap Elderly Senior Assist Bath Handle(1.25" Diameter)

I purchased two of these grab bars to place in a shower and a bathtub. They are well made and sturdy. They are a perfect circumference so that is is easy to hold if you have a smaller hand, but will work with larger hands too. They were easy to install if you are handy. The tile in our master bath needed diamond drill bits because the tile was thicker.

I bought these bars to mount horizontally on 16 inch spaced studs. I did not have room to mount any bars vertical or at any angle. They were the only ones I could find that have an 32 inch spacing at a reasonable price. After receiving I measured the bars and found out the imperial dimensions given were incorrect. Most of the metric dimensions I measured were correct or close enough. I wanted a more sturdier mounting than using the supplied drywall anchors. I wanted at least two screws on each side to be in the wall studs. I found out the spacing between the end mounting brackets using two holes to be in studs to be 31.5 inches. Therefore, I was able to mount the bars using two of the mounting holes into each stud. I used two #8x2 inch sheet metal screws into each stud and a 1/8 inch toggle bolt in the third mounting hole into the drywall. This gives a mounting strength of about 500 lbs. Because the toggle bolt was located in the center line of the bar tightening it was possible using a 1/4 inch Philips #2 bit and a small crescent wrench. I hope the bar mounted to the mounting brackets will hold 500 lbs. Because of the bracket spacing I spent a lot of time using two types of stud finders to insure I knew where the center of the studs were. Mounting and assembly was easy once I knew the exact center of the studs. I you take the listed metric dimensions given and convert them to imperial (inches) you will see that the inch measurements are incorrect.

These are good, basic grab handles. As other posters noted, the box was damaged on receipt, but all the parts were still in the box.
