Korky 6070BP BN STRONGARM Tank Lever, Universal to Fit Front Angled Side Left and Right Mount Toilets, Brushed Nickel, Classic Style

We've got an older vintage toilet in the master bathroom that I am loathe to replace, as the modern toilets, starting in the 90's reduced the flush volume to 1.6 gallons and now are currently down to as little as a single gallon. This has necessitated double and triple flushing and constant scrubbing in our guest bathroom with a new "efficient" toilet from 2018. Notwithstanding claims by the EPA that new toilet engineering will somehow allow low-flush toilets to defy the laws of Newtonian physics all while still keeping the bowl surface sparkling clean and not clogging. This despite the presence of only a cup of water at the mouth of the S-bend, sewer pipe diameters that don't change magically, and the fact that the toilet sees primary use only by an 8 year old little girl.But I digress. I've got an old toilet I want to keep. It's been through several valves and at least a couple of handles. The last handle was the "Big Box" store generic version, from about 2010 or so. Made entirely of softish white plastic, the bearing surface of the handle had worn a groove in the similarly soft plastic portion of the handle that it bears on as it goes through the tank. The result was the handle sometimes sticking unless "jiggled".Unfortunately, this resulted in the toilet running for hours and sometimes days when used by other, unnamed members of my family, who seem unable to hear the sound of running water as they apparently sprint out of the bathroom as though they are being chased by ghosts or vampires. Or maybe vampire-ghosts.The last straw was coming back from a trip out-of-state and discovering that the toilet had been running non-stop for at least a week and a half. Not that I'm blaming anyone, but I was gone for two weeks, and someone else was only gone for one and a half. Not that I'm blaming her. It's my own fault.So I hopped on Amazon and found this self-resetting toilet lever. It arrived on my doorstep literally 6 hours after I ordered it. I went into the bathroom, pulled the lid off the toilet; not bothering to turn off the water supply. Then I unhooked the flapper chain, unscrewed the old lever (righty loosey, lefty tighty) and installed this glorious new one in the reverse order, taking care to set the lever arm angle to about 30 degrees so it didn't hit the lid when flushed.It took less than 5 minutes. I tested it three or four times and then, cackling like a madman, I actually "tested" it. IYKWIM. It worked flawlessly, and the little handle sprung back into place, all of its own accord. It took one-tenth the time to install as its taken me so far to write this meandering Tolstoyeskian review.Even better, no waking up at 2 AM to the sound of running water and having to shamble into the bathroom to jiggle the handle. And now I can also stop leaving the seat up out of spite.

We purchased this for our new toilet because it came with a polished handle. We wanted a brushed nickel handle to match our bath fixtures. Very happy with the handle for it is sturdy and larger than most.

Nice design, however not string gear, because is plastic. I bought two units and both broke so I end up buying two new stronger, metal only, units but they were more expensive, I had no choice, the gear is plastic and breaks easily under pressure. Very good for chain type toilet plugs!

This is a very good product. For years I used the cheaper ones. I was concerned that the plastic components would make this flimsy, but I was wrong. This is very sturdy and fills firm when operating. This allows adjustment of the handle so that it does not hit the lid like the cheaper ones did. Well worth the difference in price to purchase this. Even thou it cost more it is a much better value.

After years of having replacement flush handles that look and function like inexpensive, generic, one-size fits replacement parts, I find the Korky STRONGARM. This lever looks more substantial and attractive than the one that came with the toilet. The spring-loaded operation means that the handle returns immediately and positively to the neutral position. No more stuck handles holding the valve open. The arm adapts to fit the installation style (front, side, left, right) through two pivot points that come apart for adjustment, then lock back in with pins when positioned as you need them. Although the handle is heavy-duty metal, the arm is plastic (ABS?). I would think this could be a positive in that it should not corrode. We will have to see if it becomes brittle over time. Maybe not. There isn't a lot of UV light in a toilet tank.

The flush handles on my toilets had started to suffer from metal fatigue and would bend with normal use so I needed to find a replacement. I ordered this because it looked very sturdy and looked like it would adjust to the point that the toilet could be flushed more efficiently with less stress. I found the handle to be very easy to install and adjust be exactly over the flush mechanism so that it takes far less effort to flush due to lifting from directly over the flapper. I was so impressed with the first one I ordered that I chose to order two more to replace on other toilets in the house. In all honesty, If I purchase a new toilet, I will immediately replace the handle with one of these far superior devices. I suspect that this flush handle and lever will last for the entire life of the toilet without any problems.

We feel so confident flushing with the Korky Strongarm tank lever, and we achieve success with minimal water waste no matter the payload. Maybe it has to do wit our flapper, but our previous lever would get stuck probably because we mounted it upside down to fit our tank geometry. This Korky’s unit fits in all directions and it is spring-loaded for, as I said, extra confidence.

I'm old with arthritic fingers so working the pressure fit metal chain clip to get proper chain length was difficult but otherwise installation was a breeze and quality seems great, much better & sturdier than what was there initially that broke and the metal handle is really nice. The YouTube how to video is very easy to understand & made me quickly understand what goes where & how to disassemble the old & install the new! I'm sure most people would have no trouble installing and even with my hand troubles it was quick & the Korky device looks great and provides a great flush, highly recommended.

Arrived on time and in good order. As usual, getting the old abused stuff out was more difficult than getting the Korky in. Pay attention to the nut thread direction, and all will be well. In our configuration it was necessary to bond some 1/8-in cork pads to the top of the tank body, to raise the tank lid a bit so there was clearance between the rotary part of the handle and that lid. Similarly a pair of bumper pads were bonded to the front of the tank to keep the raised seat lid from contacting the handle. All is good.

Great quality, very sturdy, easy to install, took me 15-20 minutes.But it would be much better if you can adjust 15 degree increments instead of 30.It would have added much more flexibility.

MUY FACIL DE USAR. SIN HERRAMIENTAS. MEJOR QUE LOS METALICOS

Excellent produit. Facile à installer. Très robuste.
