Hole Pro X-230 Kit: 1-7/8" to 9" Infinitely Adjustable Twin Blade Hole Saw Cutter 3" 4" 5" 6" 7" 8" 9" Hole Wood Sheetrock Plaster Fiberglass Plastic MDF Cement Board. Use ¼ Torque of Hole Saw to Cut Twice As Fast Review

Hole Pro X-230 Kit: 1-7/8' to 9' Infinitely Adjustable Twin Blade Hole Saw Cutter 3' 4' 5' 6' 7' 8' 9' Hole Wood Sheetrock Plaster Fiberglass Plastic MDF Cement Board. Use ¼ Torque of Hole Saw to Cut Twice As FastThe Hole Pro X-230 is a well built tool that makes the task of cutting holes much simpler. If you are required to cut holes into drywall, you cannot live without this tool. It is also capable of cutting woods, plastics, and other materials.

This worked great with my puny 14.4v Dewalt drill. The plastic shield does an *excellent* job of containing dust, debris, and flying chunks. Anyone doing renovation work or a job where cleanup is a big issue, this is a must have tool. I cannot ever imagine going back to cutting holes with a drywall saw.

All of the parts are heavy duty and well built. The shield doesn't leave marks, the blades are strong, and the spinning motion is perfectly balanced. Do not waste your money with the cheaper imitations (~$50).

Because the saw blades are adjustable, this can literally replace a dozen hole saws of various sizes. The only reason to keep hole saws is for specialty applications such as cutting metal or tight locations. While the shield is removable, the "bar" that the blades attach to is a fixed length.

Product Description:
One kit takes the place of dozens of hole saws while enabling fast dust free cutting exact size holes from 1-7/8' up to 9" inches in diameter. Kit includes high quality adjustable hole cutter, ball bearing mounted ABS shield with soft rubber gasket to trap dust and shavings, user replaceable sets of both High Speed Steel and Tungsten Carbide blades, hex wrenches, and sturdy carry case. Shield keeps cutter perpendicular to work surface and cutter has adjustment knob to limit the depth of cut when making holes in walls or ceilings to avoid accidentally cutting wires or pipes. All parts precision machined, measure bar is chrome plated and marked in both inches and millimeters. ABS composite plastic shield is made from the same material as used in hockey helmets and is lightweight, strong, and will not discolor with age. Perfect for installing recessed lights, tubular skylights, in-ceiling speakers, ceiling fans, duct vents, or providing access holes for repairs.Kit includes user replaceable High Speed Steel blades for cutting wood, MDF, Lexan and other plastics, acoustic tile, tongue and groove, laminates, and Tungsten Carbide blades for cutting sheetrock, plaster, cement or Hardi board, fiberglass, OSB, chipboard, plywood, and similar materials. Twin blades for faster cutting and perfect balance eliminate the need for balance bars which can break off inside other cutters.Requires ¼ the torque of common hole saws so a smaller drill can be used and cordless drills can cut more holes before needed to be recharged. ½' cord drills that are rated for maximum hole saw size of 3-1/2 inches for wood can cut holes up to 12' in diameter in plywood using the Hole Pro hole cutter.Like all Hole Pro Power Series kits the shield can be used with the Hole Pro XL-Arbor kit to enable the use of specialty hole cutters such as tungsten grit cutters when cutting tile or stone and have the same dust control and depth control as provided with the adjustable hole cutters.

Emerson Midway II CF929BS in Brushed Steel Review

Emerson Midway II CF929BS in Brushed SteelThis is an expensive fan -- at the high end of the range for ceiling fans of this type.But I liked the look and the fact that it uses an energy efficient fluorescent bulb.The fan ships direct from the factory, and the first fan I received was the wrong fan packed in the wrong box.Poor quality control at the Emerson factory.Still, these things happen, so I returned it and got a replacement about a week later.

The new unit was the right model, but still had several problems.A deformed housing is probably the biggest problem, causing the blades to be out of alignment, and causing a severe wobble -- especially at the higher speeds.

Problem 2 was that the "maple" blades advertised are actually ugly plastic blades with a fake wood pattern printed on them.Very cheap and disappointing.

The bulb is advertised as dimmable, but this isn't the case.It's pretty much on or off.There is the slightest change in brightness when holding the dimmer button, but it is almost impossible to even notice.Turning the light on and off sometimes requires a "double click" on the remote, other times, just one click.Confusing and hard to use.

Lastly, the remote is extremely problematic.The 20 foot advertised range is greatly overstated, as the remote only works from 3 - 5 feet away (you have to be directly under the fan for it to work).And even when standing right at the fan, the remote only works some of the time (and with a very noticable delay).

For the price (or at any price), this is an extremely low quality fan, with poor quality control from the factory.Best to avoid.

Broan Model 504 10-Inch Vertical Discharge Utility Fan, 350 CFM, 6.5 Sones Review

Broan Model 504 10 inch Vertical Discharge Utility Fan, 350 CFM, 6.5 SonesBroan 10" Vertical Discharge fan.

Since this unit discharges upward, you'll need an unfinished attic, or similar space, directly above the fan.I installed a Broan 472 Backdraft Damper/Reducer on top of the fan, which reduces the fan's top 10" opening to 8"; used 8" galvanized duct work, and routed it through an 8" roof vent [also] with a damper.The fan itself contains NO back-draft damper.

Pros:

- It works acceptably.

- Painted sheet-metal steel body and mounting brackets, are strong.

- Grille looks good.

- The fan assembly has an integral external electric box to receive 14/2 cable from your wall switch.The fan motor has a 4" cord which plugs into a dedicated "receptacle" inside the housing, enabling the fan motor to be replaced by simply unplugging it and removing two mounting screws.

Cons:

- The rushing air through the fan is anything but quiet.This is because the fan blade is attached directly to the motor shaft, turning the fan blade at high speed.Fans using lower-speed belt-driven blowers are much quieter.

- The fan motor doesn't work with a multi-speed or variable-speed switch.I.e., connected to a 3-speed wall switch, the fan only comes on when the switch is set to high.

Other:

- I made a plywood and 2x4 frame to support the fan assembly, using the built-in brackets to support it.I cut a 10-3/8" round hole in 3/4" plywood, set the fan housing just below the finished ceiling, and used joint compound to feather the rim to the ceiling level (and seal the gap around the fan housing).A square or rectangular fan would have been easier to install than this round unit.

- You'll need a 10 INCH GREASE FILTER, if the fan is to be installed in a kitchen.

Summary.

If I had it to do over again, I would have bought a quieter fan such as the Panasonic WhisperCeiling 290 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan - FV-30VQ3, and made my own grease filter. The Panasonic costs nearly twice as much, but is only 2 Sones, while this Broan is a whopping 6.5 Sones; a huge difference in sound level.

Westinghouse 7807900 Swirl Four-Light 52-Inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, White with Frosted Swirl Globes Review

Westinghouse 7807900 Swirl Four-Light 52 inch Five-Blade Ceiling Fan, White with Frosted Swirl GlobesI really love this fan. I've put it in all my bedrooms. It's beautiful and low profile, and it circulates the air well. Great price. You CAN outfit it with compact fluorescents. Nuvision makes a soft white, candelabra base bulb specifically for this kind of fan, and it's bulb style, so you can have a traditional look while still using cfls.

Monte Carlo 5DT52RBD Discus II 52-Inch 5-Blade Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Fan with Light Kit and Blades, Roman Bronze Review

Monte Carlo 5DT52RBD Discus II 52 inch 5-Blade Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Fan with Light Kit and Blades, Roman BronzeI bought this fan because it (a) is a hugger fan, meaning it's not very tall, (b) is available in white--so it tends to blend in with the ceiling color, and (c) does not require you to use a remote control (I already had two wall switches for it and many of the remote control ones won't let you wire for use without the remote AND maintain full control).

SAFETY NOTE: There are two nuts on this fan, one at the top and the bottom.They are probably metric, about 19mm (or 7/8"), so they're pretty big and easy to find.First thing you want to is make sure both of these nuts are cranked down good and tight and the top nut retaining clip is in place.This is not in the instructions.Mine came from the factory LOOSE and when I turned the fan on, the bottom section (which contains the lamp) rotated--it shouldn't do that--causing the pull chain ornaments to rise up and catch in the blades and get ripped off and flung across the room.

No damage, not even to the fan, but you definitely don't want to go through that.

Otherwise, very happy with the fan, definitely does not overpower the room, which has 8' ceilings.

I bought off ebay for $153 (after ebay 10% off coupon when paying with PayPal) + $15 S/H.

Minka-Aire Fans F516-ORB 44" Concept I Contemporary Oil-Rubbed Bronze Ceiling Fan w/ Light & Remote Review

Minka-Aire Fans F516-ORB 44' Concept I Contemporary Oil-Rubbed Bronze Ceiling Fan w/ Light & RemoteThe best feature about this fan is its looks. It is minimalistic with a clean, stylish, sleek, and modern design. It also has a relatively small footprint. The 100W mini bulb produces adequate light for my 12" by 12" size bedroom. Unlike other fans that require the blades to be screwed on the base unit containing the motor, this fan allows for the blades to just slide into the base unit and lock into place - a great feature that cuts assembly time. I was however slightly disappointed that the color of the blades (with a slightly grayish touch) was not identical to that of the base unit (brown/oiled rubbed bronze). This is not a defect but rather the actual color shade scheme of this particular fan. Even on its highest setting, the amount of airflow (air displaced) is not that impressive and hence I strongly recommend that one go with the 52" inch version of this fan that costs only slightly more than the cost of this 44" model. This fan comes with a 3.5" & 6" down-rod but for my 9" ceiling, I would have preferred if the fan also came with an additional 9" or 12" down-rod. The remote is stylish and works flawlessly but I wish there was more space to snug in the remote-receiver in the fan (it is quite a hassle to try to squeeze the remote-receiver in the tight space). The fan has a slight premium in its price to essentially reflect the quality, good looks, and the fact that you get a fan with an integrated lighting in one unit.......with the convenience of the fan and the light being independently controlled by a remote. Bottom-line: If you like the looks of this fan go with the slightly larger 52" version of it as it provides more airflow at only a minimal extra cost.

Battic Door Whole House Attic Ceiling Fan Shutter Seal Cover, Fits up to 36" X 48" Attic Fan Shutters Review

Battic Door Whole House Attic Ceiling Fan Shutter Seal Cover, Fits up to 36' X 48' Attic Fan ShuttersThis is a cut to fit solution to a heat loss problem. Now that it's in place, I don't notice it. The supplied Velcro tape made no sense to me, as you would have part of it permanently attached to the shutter. It would look tacky. I went out and bought two roll of adhesive magnetic tape (less than $3.00 for both), attached the tape to the back of the insulation, and stuck the insulation up to the shutter for a tight, magnetic seal. When summer comes, the insultation goes away with no evidence of its existance.
