ALL METAL Handheld Head Holder - CHROME - Adjustable Wand Holder with Universal Wall Hook Bracket and Brass Pivot Ball - Hand Held Head Holder - Hose Holder

Wow this is a substantial item! The heft instantly screams "all metal!", no cheap plastic here. Great finish too, this item should outlive me!

This unit is made entirely from brass, it beautifully machined and plated and it should last forever. Most of the similar units are made from plastic and will deform over time - this one should last and last. My shower handle was somewhat heavy and as a result, tended to flop forward. An easy fix for that was to unthread the barrel (used a rubber bottle opener to get traction on the barrel - took some torque because of the tight tolerances) and insert an O-ring under the beveled fiber washer. This allowed me to compress the beveled washer against the brass ball and now it works fine. The manufacturer of the unit is incredibly responsive and helpful. If you are in the market for a holder, this is the one to get.

Bought the Metal Handheld Shower Head Holder in Chrome finish. Wow, this is excellent quality and will no doubt last. If you are tired of those flimsy plastic chrome coated shower parts and need to replace with something better, then you have found the right company and part. Solid, heavy-duty metal. It swivels, it shines, its durable, easy to install. Bought the holder several months back and finally got around to installing it. I dreaded taking the shower assembly apart, but I was more annoyed by the leak in the old existing plastic one and found it in a box set to the side, so I went ahead and finally installed it. The box contained the holder, Teflon tape and basic instruction page with warranty info. The holder was nicely wrapped in a soft clothlike bag to protect from scratches. Use rubber strap wrench to uninstall old plastic part. Detach hose and handheld shower from old part. Put Teflon tape on all external metal threads. Nice included Teflon tape so did not have to hunt some down. Screw the one end onto the shower arm filter on wall side, screw the metal ended hose to other end of holder with handheld shower head attached. Ensure you have the hose the right way as sometimes one coupler end is longer to fit in the holder. All back together. Check the hose fits into the holder. Hand snug together then tighten with soft strap wrench. Do not use metal wrenches or you will more than likely scratch up the finish. Turn on water and test, no leaks. Looks good and will definitely outlast the plastic.

Nowadays it's rare to find a quality product at a decent price and this is definitely one. Solid metal construction that was only a few dollars more than a previous plastic one, that I had purchased from a North American hardware store. It takes minutes to install and I'm sure it will last a long time. Absolutely a15 out of 10 rating!!!

This is sturdy, and really well made EXCEPT for the ball part that adjusts is not strong. It was simple enough to install and came with the sealing tape (awesome perk) but- it doesn't do what it's made for. It holds the (lightweight) handheld securely, but not at any angle. It just drops under the weight- while the last one (plastic) lasted over 5 years (longer actually because I rent and I didn't need a replacement until now). 2 out of 5 stars for craftsmanship.
