He used it to install a chandelier with intentions of installing a ceiling fan in the future. He was really impressed with the easy installation and good quality.

I have used this item before. Now it's hard for me to get into the attic because of my knees. This item allows me to install my ceiling fan without crawling through the attic. I needed a friend to run a power line from my existing power source to my overhead outlet. BUT I could run the power cord from the PSU to the fan with this product. That's exactly what a person needs to install a ceiling fan and lighting.

Electricians fixed my 40 lb chandelier to a 15 lb electrical box in the dining room. A year later the box failed and the lamp was dangling from the ground wire! This electrical box hanger is designed for heavy ceiling fans and my ceiling light will never damage it. It was easy to install through an existing hole in the drywall. I used a large wrench to lengthen the hangar beam by inserting spikes into the ceiling trusses. It carried my weight with no problem. The instructions could be a bit…

Also, a metal tripod compression bar ends with metal rods that you use with a wrench to increase the pressure on the rafter boards. Super easy install and I know it won't work.

Also, there are no grip points at the bottom of the "A" point to prevent rotation. So if you have exposed joists, like I have in both houses…

I needed to replace a flimsy plastic lightbox and I used this. I had to access the attic to pry out the old box and installed this new one from the attic while I was there (although it can be installed from below provided you can remove enough insulation/wiring). It worked great. I had to put some washers under the legs to keep them from falling through the existing hole in the drywall next to the counter. new hole this way.

Fun story to accompany this item. I searched and found this for a project hanging a heavy chandelier. Turns out I didn't need it. I put it in the garage thinking it wouldn't be used.
