I love setting a toilet on a Saturday evening. Last night was no exception. I have to give my first ever product review of a bolt kit from Danco. It’s hard to get excited about a bolt kit, but this set up was the best thought out package to mount a toilet I have ever seen https://www.lowes.com/pd/Danco-Brass-White-Brass-Plastic-Mounting-Kit-Toilet-Component/1000132873From the adjustable height of the bolts, to the bullets to guide you over the hole, what a well designed and thought out design. Those little grey collars keep the bolt from spinning so you can tighten them. If you love resetting a toilet like I like resetting a toilet, go buy this product.

I have a new one to put in that I have been procrastinating for 2 months. I used the Foam Johnny ring instead of the traditional wax ring. I set it in place first so the rubber ears go over the bolts. The bolt kit above has these long rubber bullets that guide you where to drop the toilet over the hole and makes it all much easier.

You're hired! See you Monday at 9am.
Installing is fine, it's the removal that has to be a chore. How do they hold up 12 years from now and you're constantly spinning the bolt because it wont lock in the flange. Dremel works wonders, but that's a lot more material to cut through.

A very good friend of mine does marketing for Danco. I will share your review with her.
