How we chose these bars
The keyword names Ravinte Hardware and Rackickyer, so both brands have a research listing. We added four bars that the same search returned, so the set covers one three-piece set in stainless steel, one plastic two-pack and two NCXSL plastic bars. The Rackickyer listing is the only stainless bar in this set with a stated diameter but no load, so its fields are read closely below.
- Length: the bars range from 12 inches to 36 inches, and most of the single bars sit between 16 and 16.2 inches.
- Load: three listings state a minimum weight. The Rackickyer and two of the plastic bars state none.
- Finish: the listings name polished nickel, matte black, powder coated and plain plastic finishes.
1. Ravinte Hardware Grab Bar, 16 Inch, Polished Nickel (B0BZ41GW6Y)
The Ravinte listing is a single stainless steel bar with a polished nickel finish. The product size is 15.75 inches long by one inch wide, and the item weight is 0.61 kg. The title gives 16 inches and a 2 pack, and the listing gives a minimum weight of 500 pounds.
The bullets describe a non-slip knurled surface that the seller says grips well when hands are wet. They also say the bar comes in seven lengths, from 12 to 36 inches, which means the 16-inch version is one of several sizes. The included components field says No, so check the package for fixings before you order.

2. Rackickyer 12 Inch White Anti-Slip Grab Bar, 2 Pack (B0C1FLZBBD)
The Rackickyer listing is a white stainless steel bar with a diameter of 1.25 inches. The bullets describe 304 stainless steel, an anti-slip section in the middle of the bar, and screws that come in the package. The item highlight says the bar is a handicap safety grab bar for seniors. The included components field lists handles, and the style is modern.
The listing has three conflicts. The title says 12 inch, but the size field gives 13.1 inches long by 1.25 inches wide. The material field says stainless steel, but the finish field says powder coated. The title says 2 pack, and the pack field also says 2. The listing gives no load figure in the fields we hold, so the weight rating cannot be compared with the Ravinte or JUBOMT figures.

3. JUBOMT Shower Grab Bar Set, 18, 24 and 36 Inch, Matte Black (B0GKPLSYYQ)

The bullets describe 18-gauge stainless steel with a 1.25-inch diameter and a reinforced 2 mm flange. They say the set meets ADA and ANSI standards and that each bar supports up to 500 pounds. The matte black surface is described as easy to clean. The three bars give the most lengths in this comparison, which makes the set useful for a shower with more than one wall.

Worked example: how much shorter is the 12-inch Rackickyer bar?
The Ravinte bar is listed at 16 inches, and the Rackickyer bar at 12 inches. The Rackickyer bar is 4 inches shorter, which is 25 percent of the Ravinte length. If the 13.1-inch size field is right instead of the title, the gap shrinks to about 2.9 inches, or 18 percent. Measure the wall space before you choose, because the two readings lead to different answers.
On load, the Ravinte bar has a stated minimum of 500 pounds, and the Rackickyer bar has no figure at all. The Ablecare figure of 250 pounds is half the Ravinte figure. A shopper comparing these bars can use the Ravinte and Ablecare numbers as the two stated points, and should ask the Rackickyer seller for a load figure before ordering.
What the listings do not say
None of the six listings gives an independent test result. The Rackickyer listing gives no load rating, and the NCXSL listings give none either. The JUBOMT and Ravinte figures are the seller’s figures and are not explained further.
The listings describe smooth surfaces for the suction bars, but they do not say how a shower wall that has been wet for years changes the hold. The Rackickyer listing describes the bar as screwed, so check that the wall can take screws before you drill. The listings also do not say whether a bar can be moved after it is fixed.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Ravinte bar stronger than the Rackickyer bar?
The Ravinte listing gives a minimum weight of 500 pounds. The Rackickyer listing gives no weight figure, so the two cannot be compared on load from the listing data.
Why does the Rackickyer listing show two lengths?
The title says 12 inch, and the size field gives 13.1 inches long. The listing does not say which is right, so measure the space you plan to use before you buy.
Do any of these bars need screws?
The Rackickyer listing says screws are included, so plan to drill for that bar. The other listings do not say whether screws are needed, and the suction bars in this set are restricted to smooth surfaces.
Which bar gives the most lengths?
The JUBOMT set gives three lengths, 18, 24 and 36 inches, in one package. The Ravinte bullets say the line comes in seven lengths, but that listing is for one 16-inch bar.
Are these bars for full body weight?
The Ablecare listing says the bar is for balance and partial weight support, and the listing says not to place full body weight on it. Treat every bar in this comparison as a balance aid until the seller confirms the rating for your use.
Conclusion
For a stated load figure, the Ravinte and JUBOMT listings each give 500 pounds. For a shorter stainless steel bar with screws, the Rackickyer listing gives a 12-inch title but a 13.1-inch size field, and no load. For a plastic suction bar, the Ablecare listing gives 250 pounds and a surface warning. Choose by the load figure you need, the surface you have and the length that fits your wall.
