Oh Kohler, how I love thee.
We purchased this faucet to replace a more traditional single-handle pullout faucet that broke.I was a bit doubtful about how simple this one looked, but it's performed amazingly.The toggle between the spray and normal modes is solid and moves from side to side - something I love.(Ever had to fight with those little silly buttons on top of a faucet?)
Clean-up is easy - just swipe with a wet cloth with a bit of detergent on it.
The faucet is tall enough to let us get even the biggest pots and pans out of the sink - and to fill the spaghetti pot while it's balancing on the sink ledge.It has almost a full 180-degree swivel and never feels wobbly.

Take an interactive tour of Forté Pullout Kitchen Sink Faucets.Forté Kitchen FaucetsExpanding its current offering of single-control kitchen faucets, Kohler introduces Forté kitchen faucets, boasting attractive transitional style, fluid lines, and exceptional performance. The beautifully crafted handle of Forté provides comfortable hand control, and the faucet's integrated cast body and spout make it exceptionally easy to keep clean.
Available with an escutcheon for single-hole or three-hole installations and an optional sidespray, Forté is perfect for roomy single and double- basin sinks. Its 6-inch spout height allowing more clearance for taller containers, and its generous 9-inch spout reach makes it ideal for handling larger pots.
Single Lever for ConvenienceThe Forté faucet's single lever makes it easy to operate: simply flip up the lever to turn on the water and move the lever left to right to find the desired temperature. Once you find the right temperature, leave the lever in place and turn the faucet on and off as needed. A high-temperature control lets you preset a maximum setting to eliminate scalding.
Versatile Sprayhead for Multiple UsesThe ergonomic sprayhead pulls out of the faucet with a counterweighted, braided-nylon hose that moves quietly and efficiently. The ball-joint swivel sprayhead ensures smooth operation, which means you can control it with minimal effort. Also, the MasterClean sprayface resists mineral buildup and is easy to clean.
The two spray options are easily controlled with a side-to-side diverter that allows for either a traditional or palm grip--convenient for both right- and left-handed users. For further ease of use, the spray-pattern memory recalls the last setting used, and a high-temperature limit stop and temperature memory feature maintain a safe, ideal water temperature.
Durable Construction Lasts LongerThe Forté faucet's premium metal construction ensures a long life, and the finish is bonded to the faucet to resist scratches, corrosion, and tarnishing. All Forté faucets come in several finishes that exceed industry durability standards two times and boast distinctive color and texture selections, including authentic hand-brushed finishes. Forté kitchen faucets are offered in Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Vibrant Polished Brass, Vibrant French Gold, Vibrant Brushed Nickel, and Vibrant Brushed Bronze.
For even greater durability, Forté kitchen faucets feature one-piece self-contained ceramic valves that exceed industry standards for longevity and allow for straightforward volume and temperature control.
Easy InstallationInstallation is fast and easy with 25-inch flexible supply hoses, a quick connection between the sprayhead and valve, and an easy-to-tighten installation ring. The Forté faucet features an ADA-compliant lever handle and swing spout with a pullout sprayhead and hose. The spout reach is 10-1/8 inches, and the faucet clears 8-11/16 inches. The Forté has a maximum flow rate of 2.2 gallons (8.3 liters) per minute with a low-flow aerator option available.

This drawer pull jig does the job.Not as pricey as the Rockler.The only drawback is that it is not pre-drilled for wider handles (6"-6 1/8") but doesn't claim to be either.I had to measure and drill the jig for the wider pulls that I installed.Not a big deal but these wide pulls are fairly common and pre-drilling for the wider sizes would have been nice. Once I drilled out for the wide pulls, the jig worked great.
