Review on Westinghouse Lighting 0110000 Saf-T-Brace for Ceiling Fans with Twist and Lock Mechanism - 3 Teeth, Silver (Pack of 1) by Jenny Washington

I actually wanted to install two of these devices before the new tenants moved in, but the kitchen renovation was delayed so I had to wait another year. I was very optimistic after reading the rave reviews and the first brace was beautiful and fitted the hole easily and that little magnet is definitely strong but that's where the positives of these braces end. The statement "do not use a wrench" should be reconsidered, as without it the teeth will not cut deep enough into the beam. Because the threads are so steep, the further you have to lengthen this strut, the more unstable it becomes. I encountered a negative kink in this bracket, so much so that the box hung 1/2 inch below the ceiling with no load. Measure the distance between your joists and if it is more than 16 inches, make sure the package can be returned. Condition.
