On the bench it does move a lot of air. A hint for the mental giants like myself would be to check for missiles or any other crap that will be thrown at you off the bench when you connect the hot lead ..... LMAO !
Been there, done that, also!!!!!!!!!! A few years ago I was putting in a fan on my race car and the hot wire looked mighty small to me, so before installing it (Sunday afternoon 6:00pm) I decided to lay it on the radiator support for testing. Had to put it fan blades up and hot wired it directly to a battery, was gonna let it run a few minutes and see how hot the positive wire got. After a minute or two, it began to "walk" and I reached to grab it as it was falling off the car,before it hit the floor...bad idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you know that your right thumb WILL NOT stop an electric fan blade spinning at 2500 rpms???????? Did you know that those plastic blades are acutally very sharp and will in an instant slice your right thumb to the bone????? the doc got by with 12 stiches after I sat bleeding in the emergency room for 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still don't have 100% feeling in that thumb....

From then on, it something is gonna fall on the ground, it's gonna hit the ground, if it breaks, I'll get a new one......I haven't broke a part "yet" that was more than the emergency room bill, it was "only" $765.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that comes out to $63.75 per stitch!!!!!!!!!
