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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice Easy Project for ceiling fans and accessories

I was quite skeptical when I first saw this but I've read all the online reviews and their suggestions so I had a pretty good idea what to do are expected. I did a "dry run" before I even started the project. The worst part of the project was removing the light debris that the electrician had installed during assembly. Once that was done I lengthened the unit a bit before placing it, 16" down the center, plugged it into the existing hole, you will need to maneuver a bit to make sure the legs are correct and twisted. I only hand tightened because one review said they used a wrench and broke it. I had already punched a hole in the housing for the electrics, slid it onto the bracket, aligned everything and finger tightened the nuts that held the housing, finished tightening the socket wrenches, being careful not to over tighten or strip , as suggested in a review, and off we go to install the ceiling fan. I understand I have no electrical or structural training, I watched the video a couple of times and it really was a piece of cake.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Some minor things
