Madgal are kinder to women
Two years ago we got several Madgal taps. I tried installing one myself, and had to give up and call a plumber to finish the job: the assembly required using unreasonable torques for me, at weird angles. I had to be able to turn a screw with almost nothing to hold on, when I am under the sink, groping around behind the sink, at an invisible point, in order to prevent leakage around the tap. I had to twist flexible pipes connected where I could not reach inside the tap, in order to prevent leakage from the installation itself.
Today, while visiting my parents, my father asked me to turn an unreachable screw under the sink, as he has problems with his leg. It turned out that he wanted to install a Madgal tap. After hours of struggling we managed to release the old tap, and then I anticipated trouble trying to install the new tap without any leakage. I was already working on convincing him to call a plumber, when I realized that Madgal have finally done the right thing: All the tubes that had to be installed in an unreachable point inside the tap were already hooked up in the factory. The tap came with a special easy-grip utility to make turning the invisible screw a work like charm. The only thing was that they were not accurate enough with the production of the screw, so that it could not fit in place - my father had to shave a part of it off to make it fit. But all in all, it was certainly doable.
My parents now have a new tap.
