Our Kolher original drain plug lasted just after a year. A threaded screw feel off the bottom and went right down the drain. Purchased an off brand and it did not plug or strain properly. This part plugs or strain very well. It is more sturdy and the original.

Perfect

Impressed with the quality and price of the item. Also the prompt delivery - good company on my eyes

My old Kohler Duostrainers from the 1980s have both finally fallen apart. The old ones did NOT utilize a rubber o-ring to seal against the drain pipe. Instead, they were solid stainless - a metal against metal seal! Believe it or not, both my old ones, and these, are made in America! That was a welcomed surprise.These new ones DO utilize a rubber o-ring, though, so I'm sure the rubber will eventually dry out and fail. But, hopefully, my local hardware store will have the correct size replacements when that happens. And I see that they are sold here on Amazon, as well.One noticeable improvement is the addition of detents, which keep the drain plug raised and secure when you want full drainage flow. My old ones had no such detents, so I had to use a file to make my own those many years ago, because the drain would suddenly drop and close itself on occasion.These stainless steel Duostrainers seem very well-made, with virtually the same weight as my old ones, and they're highly polished. So, except for the rubber o-rings, I'm expecting these to last for many years. If they fail prematurely, I'll make sure to update this review.ADVICE:Several reviewers have complained that the stopper insists on unscrewing itself, and falls off its shaft. If that happens to mine, I'll simply clean the post and the stopper threads and then screw them back together using J-B Weld 2-part epoxy on the threads. That stuff will NEVER let go!! By the way, my nearly 40-year-old ones NEVER unscrewed like that. = They don't make anything like they used to!

These strainers are hard to come by. They can range from $20-150 online. My original one's inner ring that allows for the strainer to strain or sink to be flush to stop the water stopped straining making my farmhouse sink frustrating to use. I was leased this model fit perfectly and returned functionality back to my sink.
