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

I waited an entire year to install a ceiling fan because I didn't want to crawl around the attic to install a wooden brace between the ceiling joists to support the fan of this unit in an episode "Ask That Old House" and it looked just how I needed it. The spacing between the joists is about 24 inches so this required maximum stretching. I found the threads on the stem to be quite rough so it was a bit difficult to turn the bar without turning the stem. I suppose I could try using some WD40 but that was plan B if I couldn't get it without it. Even before the triangular "legs" were inserted into the wood, they tended to fail. So it took some patience, but after about 5 minutes it was installed. They also offer a small magnet that does an excellent job of holding the junction box to the mount while trying to get the screws into the mount to secure it to the mount. Once the ceiling fan was installed (maximum weight for the mount's rating), it was solid. No hesitation at all. I need to fit another fan and will definitely use it again. I have also recommended this to some friends and they also think it is the best tool for the job.
