Moen 8718 Home 18-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar, Stainless

I bought this Moen stainless grab bar when my mother suffered an injury that made it dangerous for her to get in and out of the shower without support. She wanted something that was not only sturdy but also attractive, and I settled on this one in part because of Moens reputation. Installation is easy, especially if you can attach it to studs on both ends; if you cant, then youll have to purchase the secure mounts separately, one for each end that isnt attached to a stud. The 36 length allows her to not only step out of the shower but also to be supported for another step forward. And when her injury heals, it can be used as a towel bar, albeit an extra thick one. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

This is a veyy good grab bar. I have found that Moen products are always high quality.

I watched the VIDEO Moen on how to install several times. Paid attention to what size keyhole saw to purchase, and which way the arrows needed to point. I had my level, a #2 pencil, my screwdriver, and Drill. I was ready to tackle two GRAB BARS. Then when I opened the Amazon box I discovered the VIDEO shown didnt apply. My GRAB BARS had the metal rings already attached and I needed to go to the Hardware and purchase special wall screws that also needed to penetrate the cinder block wall on the other side of the drywall where I was placing the Grab Bars. I also needed to purchase a concrete drill bit. Once I had the bars attached strongly to the walls in both bathrooms I was very pleased with the LOOK of both bars. Next time an Item is shown with a HOW TOO INSTALL Ill wait until the item arrives and read the instructions before purchasing needed items to install the item.

I liked these Moen grab bars. No tacky features and look professional!

Needed a safety grab bar to put out at step sons house for his stairway up to his porch. This was a perfect fit, been in place for about 3 months now and works for us when we visit. Quite sturdy, was easy to install. Out in the weather and holding up well.

My husband installed these in my shower due to my recent knee injury. Installed where I needed them and now feel comfortable taking a shower again! Installed using screws, etc. NO suction powered bars...I dont trust them.

Use for sturdy towel rack. Looks great n doesnt come loose when I pull towels off or grab to steady myself

Very easy to install and less expensive than nig box stores

Installed in the shower for safety

Moen makes a decent shower grab bar and the price on Amazon is comparable to purchasing in store at Home Depot. I found more color selection available on Amazon than at store which was a great advantage.
