Monte Carlo 5CY60RB Cyclone 60-Inch 5-Blade Outdoor Ceiling Fan, Roman Bronze Motor Finish and American Walnut ABS with Grain Blades Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this fan to put outside at our Boat slip at the marina. We had a Hampton Bay 48 inch outdoor fan from Home Depot up but wanted a wider radius. The 48 inch fan had great RPM's and a great wind/breeze maker but was just not wide enough to cover our deck at the lake. So we opted for this 60 inch outdoor fan. We went to install it, on a 4 foot down pole, like the Hampton Bay 48 inch and found, unlike all other standard fans, it takes a 1/2 inch rod instead of the industry standard 3/8's inch rod. Well, they don't make one so we had to custom make one out of a 48 inch galvanized steel pole for plumbing. That worked fine.
However, once we had it installed, thats when we found the most disappointing thing. Unlike ALL ceiling fans we have owned for more than 25-30 years, this fan, ON HIGH, moved like most fans on low to medium. We thought we had something hooked up wrong, so we spend 2 hours taking it back down, analizing it and putting it back up to find it still moved slower on high than any other fan we have ever seen. It did not hardly move any air/wind outdoors, being it was an outdoor fan.
Once we got home from the lake, I looked up on the companies web site montecarlofans dot com, and found the RPM's for this fan are HORRIBLE.
On Low, the RPMS are only 37 RPM's... thats 1 rotation per 2 seconds... on HIGH, the RPM's are a laughable 147 which is approx 2 1/2 Rotations per minute... unlike nearly every other ceiling fan, when you put them on high, you can barely make out the blades they are turning so fast, you can literally count the rotations with this one they are turning so slowly. and you can make out each blade on High...
I would HIGHLY discourage anyone from buying this fan. The NON Standard size down pole fittings and the HORRIBLY slow RPM's make this fan only good for 'atmosphere', not for 'functionality'.
thanks.... winterstone

Werner AA8 250-Pound Duty Rating Televator Aluminum Universal Telescoping Attic Ladder, 8-Foot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a 8' televator ladder. The ladder installation was simple. The instruction were great (and I am not a handy person). They claim it's a one person job. I found that to be quite true. There is a well thought out installaiton procedure and well designed parts (assuming you read directions carefully). The only down side is that it does not come with a door. I assume this is because the opening sizes vary so much. They do provide all the necessary hardware and (excellent) templates for drilling holes. You have to measure, buy and finish is the plywood for the door. Unfortunatly this can be pricey. I had to buy a whole 4x8 sheet of birch plywood and only used a fraction of it. The directions for the door assembly are a little less clear than the ladder install but I managed with out too much hassle. The only other thing I can think of now that I didn't think about when I was installing was that the ladder reduces the overall size of the attic access hole. We now have to re-box some things in the attic so we can fit them through the smaller access. Some bigger things in the attic may require removal of the stairs but I think that won't be too bad to do if/when I need to do it. It is great not having to stash a step ladder upstairs any more. I knew I had to do something after my wife fell off the step ladder while climbing out of the attic one day. This is a great alternative when you don't have the space for a real set of stairs.

FastCap 3rd Hand Support System 57-to-144-Inches, 2-pack #3HAND5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For some reason, they do not want to provide many details about this product. So I'll fill in the blanks. The maximum weight limit is 70 pounds. The blue body is made out of steel. The top and bottom plates, and the squeeze handle are made out of plastic. There is a non-marring rubber pad on both the top and bottom plates. The plates swivel on a plastic ball joint. The total shipping weight is 13 pounds. Made in China. Overall I'm quite happy with it. The reason I gave it 4 stars is I'm not sure how long the plastic ball joints are going to last. Time will tell.

Gilmour 20-18 Commercial Pole Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The three piece pole is much stiffer than the collapsing ones making for better saw control. The saw teeth are a little aggressive making it difficult to trim a branch off another branch. It works fine for cutting limbs at the trunk. A fine toothed saw blade would be a good option.

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pole pruner performs excellently.
I found the following features to be especially useful:
- rotating head, allows easy cuts of branches at different angles.
- no additional rope to pull, makes for easy cutting and handling.
- saw blade is sharp and it also allows user to change the angle of the blade so that you can saw more efficiently.
Features I wish it had:
- the ability to cut more than its 1 & 1/4-inch cutting capacity.
- when using the saw blade, the FULLY extended handle flexes a bit more than I prefer.
Overall this telescopeing pole pruner is excellent.
I have been using mine regularly to prune trees for over a year and it still cuts as sharply as it did on the first day.
By the way, some reviewers mentioned that the packaging was poor and they got a damaged product, they must have ordered it early before the new packaging was incorporated. My Pruning Stik arrived in good condition, it had a thick supporting cardboard piece to ensure the long box did not bend.

Fiskars 9333 15-Inch Replacement Saw Blade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you need a replacement saw blade for your tree pruner, this is the best one ever. It has sharp, greedy teeth which is good because the sharper the blade the faster the cutting and the sooner you get to go have a beer and relax. When you get the new blade be sure not to get excited and cut too many branches from your trees while you are trying it out. Otherwise, your trees will look like my neighbor's trees which look like Q-tips. Not that there's anything wrong with Q-tips. They are great for getting nasty yellow wax out of the ear. But trees should look like trees, not Q-tips.
