Re: Flex Fan vs Clutch Fan

The only complaints I hear is if they come apart they can do some damage but even a regular fan can do that. I looked at mine and it looks pretty stout. Thats just my two cents.
I've also had good luck with flex fans. Good ones with stainless steel blades from NAPA, and I think quality has something to do with the ones that fly apart, I have also seen the holes through the hood before. I run dual 13.5" Flex-a-lite fans now, with no problems at all.
