Poorly designed 44″ Palm cove fan

What a stupid design. Engineers missed it on this one (as they do most things engineered by humans): Screws are non-ferous, so even the strongest magnetic screwdrivers don't help. You will need to glue each of three screws with "Goop" glue to the screwdriver when attaching the fan motor to the ceiling-mounted housing - in this step one hand is holding the entire motor, the other a screwdriver (you don't have a third one, and if you did, fingers aren't long enough to hold each screw between a three inch wide recessed opening to the screw holes!) Proving the *** who designed the fan never attempted to mount it before manufacturing it! Why the screws aren't made of steel, and only pot metal??? Who was the CEO or efficiency expert that said they could save a penny per unit on this design? I have been designing products, evaluating them as a consumer advocate for only 40 years, and have an IQ of 160 and an amazing mechanical design score. I probably don't know what I'm talking about....NOT! Don't waste your money on this Chinese-made POS. Buy a German fan and convert the windings to 117VAC 60Hz.
