had no idea the plastic one sucked so much power.
Used to run one on mine and loved it because it was so light and wasnt noisy, going to strictly electric these days and give that a try.
Every metal flex fan Ive used except for one eventually let go of a blade and took out a water pump bearing with it.
Dangerous if youre under the hood!
