7 OOO Bucks is crazy for a fan. I doubt they would "Provide" many of us with one. Honestly Abom, would you pay that ? I bet you could mount 3 smaller ceiling fans for about 1500 bucks that would treat you and your shop as good as it would treat your wallet.
Before looking up the price or reading the comments I was thinking around $1500 for it. WRONG...$7k!!! No way in Hell I'd pay that! For that price it better cook me dinner and wipe my ass!
I like it, but the price of that thing is absurd. $6,999 US. I bought my 60" from Tractor supply for $650, it's not quiet, but my wallet is a lot heavier.
The Chinesium fan from TSC will last for a decent time, but this thing will last forever and be nicer to work near. Don't get me wrong, I got beer money and this is a champaign fan, but if I had the coin I'd buy one.
Rest assured that even at full speed and close proximity, the noise from that fan is not distracting or overwhelming in any way. You can record videos and have full air movement with no discomfort on our end at all.
So nice having new equipment. Don't worry about the haters, having a manufacturer willing to give you something like this shows your worth. Sometimes you got to spend money to make money. Quality tools that last while make it more productive and more comfortable in the shop is a great thing.
Promoting stuff almost no one can afford is not a good look. This is way outside the realm of affordable for most people that subscribe to abom. Besides for 7 grand you could get air conditioning installed in that building.
I have the 14’ overhead fan and it saved me a ton this winter in heating. I keep it on the slowest speed continuously and now I have no condensation or rust problem in the shop
It's obvious that the folks that are critical of the fan size and cost have never spent a summer on the US Gulf Coast. I have spent summers in Pascagoula, New Orleans and Houston. There is nothing worse than trying to work in the heat and humidity. Air conditioning is an answer, but the minute you open the big door the cool is gone. Adam has found a workable answer. It solves a number of problems; comfort, air movement, operating cost, noise control. $7000 is a small cost for making the shop a livable work environment. .
I can say from experience, that the Big Ass fans are worth their price. I run a large shop that we used to use over 20 36 inch fans. This is in St Louis. We installed 3 fans, 2-12 foot and 1 -16 foot. Huge difference, summer and winter. They allow for a better workstation less fan “fatigue “ and you can hear everything without a fan blowing in your face all day. All around great experience and the pay for themselves over time, like any quality purchase.
Ha ha ha. I worked in a shop that had BAF's overhead. They were about the size of helicopter blades, but they sure moved some air! Abom, keep up the good work!
Glad to see that you are getting some excellent sponsors for your new shop. IMO You deserve it. Now you can enjoy those cool summer Florida breezes. I can tell by the smile on your face that you are going to love it.
@@jamesadams893 I modified my original post to say that was my opinion. I believe he deserves it for providing what IMO is some excellent content that I enjoy watching like the other half a million subs. If a manufacturer wants to give him something I say good for him. I am a hobbyist machinist and really enjoy his content and wish him every success.
This is obviously a promo video. Aint no way anybody who's not an industrial or corporate business buying something like this at $7,000. I know they probably gave you this for free or good price but this is the wrong target audience lol
They do make other fans that don't cost that much. It also gives an idea of other stuff out there. Ag suppliers do a lot of this kind of stuff at a much lower cost. But they're usually noisier.
…he actually said that at the start of the video. It was totally disclosed. Also, content providers don’t work for free. Do you pay for this content? I think not.
You do know a large portion of his viewers are business owners. I have 81 employees, but we don't work out of a shop, and the shop we do have is air conditioned.
It's pretty nice but you can get a giant portacool which is also very quiet for a lot less. And also cools the air. Nice fan though, but a bit too pricey for what it is.
Portacools don’t work so good in Florida the humidity is way to high, the air is already too saturated with water for an evaporative cooler to work efficiently. The are great in the desert.
@@brianfisher7385 all the ones I’ve seen in shops here are sitting in the back of the shops collecting dust. I ask why, they say they don’t work any better than a fan. Your the first person that has ever claimed they work that I know of. Miami muffler has ten of the small ones in the back of the shop collecting dust. The owner says he bought them at an auto show in Vegas and they felt like air conditioning out there and got them here and was utterly disappointed with them here.
I applaud the channel for growing to the point that a company is willing to drop a $7000.00 fan on the new shop floor. As they say don't hate the player. About all TH-cam channels take sponsorship deals nowadays and as long as you don't start milling vices in two while collecting piles of cash from Shunk with Kennametal cutting tools on machine tools you don't make payments on or own outright and I will continue to support the channel with my viewership. Stay safe and thanks for taking us along.
i used to work on the shipping docks in houston in the summer an had to yell over the numerous fans that thing is absolutely incredible! only when you had it at 3/4 to full did i hear anything an it wasnt obnoxious or bothersome at all! thats a winner WOW
We have BAF AirEyes at work. They weren't cheap but they're by far the best I've ever encountered, even better than TPI cattle fans, insane wind from a fan like 3 feet across that plugs into a 120V outlet. Plus their speed control goes to 11
That is a beautiful thing. when i worked off my van here in New Orleans i use to do my best to have a blower fan running. Having it outside was always a blessing. I love the cord stowage this unit provides and the variable speed is amazing. You know with a name like BIGASSFAN it's gotta be made in the USA.
You're not going to tell us how many easy payments of 19.95 this will cost us? Buy now a get a second fan for frEEEE. Buyer pays shipping and handling on second fan.
Not an expert by any means but would have thought if the aircon was sized correctly, there would be no need for a portable fan, especially one priced at $7K
My first experience with a big ass fan was incredible. Big shop that made all kinds of stuff with steel tube. The shop was conditioned, open, clean and the floor workers weren't soaked in sweat. At that moment I realized the owner had done factory work or simply decided to reinvest to make his company better. Whatever motivation he had, that shop was nice. I think I just stared at the fan for a bit while my order was loaded up.
Their fans look nice but I am not ever going to be interested in spending 7000 dollars on this fan. Their cheapest indoor fans is 800 dollars. Hard pass.
People say that they're overpriced but honestly from an R&D and manufacturing perspective, these are fine. Of course, they have very good margins on these. However, you do get what you pay for. I suspect they're using a high pole count ECDC motor with high quality drive circuitry, and there's a fair amount of heavy-duty electronics that would go into these to give you that high efficiency. Making a rotating assembly completely silent would generally require precision bearings with custom-selected greases to minimize noise and maximize longevity. It's not trivial. The rotor assembly seems to have been balanced to high standards. The overall engineering of these seems excellent. Robust, easy to use. If you can hose these down, then everything has been nicely gasketed and waterproofed.. again - not trivial. I deal with like $20k+ military fans at times and these units seem like the same types of beasts.
Well, they have a somewhat limited market. This one is also water resistant to rain and spray and such. I'd rather pay for it once and basically never have to replace it.
you can't go by the price of "military" items for comparison. I agree w/ much of what you said, but non of that explains why this fan costs a few grand more than their 14' ceiling fan.
I appreciate that there will be some content regarding the setup of the new workshop but the channel feels so far away from what got me to subscribe. I loved the heavy machining from a few years ago, and enjoyed the scraper content at the home shop. There's just not the content to keep me here any more, sorry.
He's moving to a position where, if there was no TH-cam he has some sort of business. To do that he needs to add CNC to his capabilities. But he is not affiliated with any particular sector of industry, as per Brian Block with the agricultural sector and heavy tractor pulling, Keith Fenner with the boating industry, or Edge Precision with the oil industry.
@@arfonjones7188 Yeah I understand Arfon, and I wish Adam all the luck in the world, he's a great guy and has a great channel.

Adam's content lead me to Cutting Edge Engineering which is another great machining channel, and I thank him for that.
Adam I clicked on the link I thought the fan would be a few hundred dollars maybe $1,000 at the most but $6,999.00 dollars I could never afford that fan it's a Big Ass Fan alright and it's has a big ass price most people couldn't even afford the fan well Adam enjoy your Big Ass Fan
it may be free for him but we still have to pay $7,000 for a breeze if you want the big ass quiet fan it don't matter how quiet the fan is he's going to be running his engine lathe and it's going to be noisy and it's going to have more noise than any fan out there you wouldn't even notice the loudest fan when you're cutting metal on a lathe it sounds 100 times louder than your fingers across a chalkboard I grew up with that noise in my father shop that's why I have ringing of the ears now that's why Adam where's ear plugs don't get me wrong I like that fan and everything it's good outside and he could have it for his barbecues but it's a luxury fan have a nice day@@Pato-ARG
Video sounded great, barely heard the fan on high when you weee right in front of it. I first seen their fans in McMaster Carr probably 15 years ago. One of the best logos ever.
You could get a full shop A/C system for that price, and it is only quiet because it blows F..all air. Absolutely ridiculous - you can buy a bloody PRECISION tool like a lathe or milling machine for that price. Everyone notice that the shop is fully AC anyway... but nice score for free I guess... sell it and buy something useful.
They actually move massive amounts of air. They are very, very good fans. But you pay for that best in the business quality and American labor to build them.
Your gonna need to keep the blades and grill clean, otherwise the performance will degrade due to film/dirt build up. And then it will start making noise. Fans that big usually begin to rattle after a few years. Personally I would of put a series of ceiling fans in the ceiling to circulate air and prevent stratification of warm air in the shop and let the A/C units do the job.
Love seeing that Big Ass Grin on your face when you talk about that Big Ass Fan! Thanks for the update on what the heck you're up to with the new shop! Sounds super-exciting for all of us to share in the joy of "new toyz!" Good luck Adam!
awesome video. I thought about buying a big ass fan for years and now that I know how they are set up and their quality/design, Definitely going to buy one in the future.
Dude, there was no distracting noise even when it was full speed and you were directly in n front. Don’t have any worries for using it at whatever speed and distance make you comfortable. It won’t affect future videos at all.
Now that is a BIG ASS FAN Congratulations to you and your wife on the new workshop. I'm in the process of setting up a good workshop for me and my son. both of us are Diesel mechanics. Just brought a second lathe and I'm trying to get my son to build a new workshop for him to be able to fit big machinery so he can work in side instead of working outside. I told him if he builds the shed I will supply the workshop equipment. wish you all the best in the future. From Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️
I met BAF when I got their Haiku ceiling fan. Dynamic stabilization, guaranteed in 20mph wind. I put a broomstick to the hanging column and couldn't move it. Magic.
Why is everyone jumping on the guy for showing off something from a company thats sponsoring something on his TH-cam channel? You do realize that the way you make money on TH-cam is stuff like this right? It's no different than him showing off some new tooling for the lathe or anything else he's done on the channel, get off your high horses and enjoy the content!
I agree with you Jake! Great tool for his shop and no different from any other tool or tooling he has. Haters are always going to hate! If you can't say anything nice folks don't say anything at all and while you're at it...? grow up!
No, this channel is nothing like what made Abom79 popular. I don't want to watch informercials for fucking fans and CNC lube. He has been in the shop for six months and he is not making anything, just buying stuff and going on vacation. Why am I watching that? I'm not. It's ridiculous.
Try placing the fan near the door with the air blowing in towards the shop. What that does is force clean outside air into the shop while forcing the bad air out it. I used to be a cable splicer for the phone company and those fans you see near the manhole setup force air in to evacuate the bad air and dust in the hole.
That's a sick fan Abom! Would be nice doing welding work in the shop. Keeps the smoke off you but probably not so much concentrated air to blow up the shielding. You should definitely do a followup on cleaning when the time comes. Want to see it get hosed off
I have three 24 foot BAF's in one of my warehouses. We never run them above 50% as they move too much air. 160K sq ft warehouse and have never turned on the HVAC, don't need to with those fans.
That thing is HUGE!!!! Whoa. Be great for flowing air in construction setting, whilst working on a man lift. I have really liked big ass fans for a while, but didn't realize they made these.
Hanger I worked in while I lived in Ft. Lauderdale, FL had a 24 foot Big Ass Fan. Holy crap could that thing move some air! Sounded like the (original series) starship Enterprise spooling up the engines when you turned it on. It was awesome.
The noise level of that fan is impressive. Your shirt was billowing in the air it was moving and just a slight whir was all you heard while you had the mic pointed towards the fan. Going to work good for them hot Florida days.
It looks and sounds like an ECM. those motors are so powerful and energy efficient. It my be good to put a surge protector to help keep the electronics healthy.
The mining literature says that a clean flow of air in the work area is the best way to deal with industrial dust. This is better than respirators or air filters. This is most important with grinding snd sanding. Very nice Abom Frank

Personally I would of put a series of ceiling fans in the ceiling to circulate air and prevent stratification of warm air in the shop and let the A/C units do the job.
This fan is washdown rated. Just have to spray it with a garden hose.
@@benrivenbark - yeah but it's just mild steel so it will rust to hell.
I can't believe how quiet that huge fan is! Variable speed is so great on a fan too.
Even at max speed it's entirely viable for video. Wouldn't really notice it if I didn't know it was there.
It looks really well built. It's high vollume low velocity so it'll move a lot of air without creating an indoor hurricane.
Love seeing that Big Ass Grin on your face when you talk about that Big Ass Fan! Thanks for the update on what the heck you're up to with the new shop! Sounds super-exciting for all of us to share in the joy of "new toyz!" Good luck Adam!
awesome video. I thought about buying a big ass fan for years and now that I know how they are set up and their quality/design, Definitely going to buy one in the future.
Wow I love it but I can buy 17 fans at home Depot for the price of that one
And your shop would sound like you had 17 home depot fans in it. That Big Ass Fan was quiet, which he needs for his videos for sure.
I'd be all over this if it was 700 instead of 7000. Still an amazing fan
Not just for general air movement but also can be used to purge shop of chemical smells & fumes
Dude, there was no distracting noise even when it was full speed and you were directly in n front. Don’t have any worries for using it at whatever speed and distance make you comfortable. It won’t affect future videos at all.
Now that is a BIG ASS FAN
Congratulations to you and your wife on the new workshop.
I'm in the process of setting up a good workshop for me and my son. both of us are Diesel mechanics.
Just brought a second lathe and I'm trying to get my son to build a new workshop for him to be able to fit big machinery so he can work in side instead of working outside.
I told him if he builds the shed I will supply the workshop equipment.
wish you all the best in the future.

I met BAF when I got their Haiku ceiling fan. Dynamic stabilization, guaranteed in 20mph wind. I put a broomstick to the hanging column and couldn't move it. Magic.
Why is everyone jumping on the guy for showing off something from a company thats sponsoring something on his TH-cam channel? You do realize that the way you make money on TH-cam is stuff like this right? It's no different than him showing off some new tooling for the lathe or anything else he's done on the channel, get off your high horses and enjoy the content!
I agree with you Jake! Great tool for his shop and no different from any other tool or tooling he has. Haters are always going to hate! If you can't say anything nice folks don't say anything at all and while you're at it...? grow up!
No, this channel is nothing like what made Abom79 popular. I don't want to watch informercials for fucking fans and CNC lube. He has been in the shop for six months and he is not making anything, just buying stuff and going on vacation. Why am I watching that? I'm not. It's ridiculous.
@@andrewterry8092 Amen!
Don't you peeps in FL usually mount them fans on shallow boats? :-)
that thing is impressively quiet! They must have been paying attention to the aviation industries more recent developments.
Big ass fans are notorious for being almost silent except for max speed. And they move air. I've installed a couple, and seen more in the wild.
Try placing the fan near the door with the air blowing in towards the shop. What that does is force clean outside air into the shop while forcing the bad air out it. I used to be a cable splicer for the phone company and those fans you see near the manhole setup force air in to evacuate the bad air and dust in the hole.
bruhhh... 7 grand for a fawking fan?! totally unobtainable for the little guy...
It’s also 7 ft tall. Little guy doesn’t need one that big
That's a sick fan Abom! Would be nice doing welding work in the shop. Keeps the smoke off you but probably not so much concentrated air to blow up the shielding.
You should definitely do a followup on cleaning when the time comes. Want to see it get hosed off
We would also love to see this considering Black Jack is a breeze to clean with an IPX5 rating!
Adam. Put a real long extension cord on that thing and unlock the wheels! Let the chaos ensue. ;-)
If I'm not mistaken, they also have a division for lights......big ass lights. My cousin had 6 put in his shop
I have three 24 foot BAF's in one of my warehouses. We never run them above 50% as they move too much air. 160K sq ft warehouse and have never turned on the HVAC, don't need to with those fans.
That thing is HUGE!!!! Whoa. Be great for flowing air in construction setting, whilst working on a man lift.
I have really liked big ass fans for a while, but didn't realize they made these.
Hanger I worked in while I lived in Ft. Lauderdale, FL had a 24 foot Big Ass Fan. Holy crap could that thing move some air! Sounded like the (original series) starship Enterprise spooling up the engines when you turned it on. It was awesome.
Smart move getting a big ass fan to help cool down. That things awesome! And quiet. Wow!
You deserve some comfort. Tricky work is easier without sweat dripping, and it's so quiet. Cool!
Awesome! Next “Building a mount for the camper”
$7000 is shocking....I'd have guessed $700....$1K tops.
Wow. Is there any similar fan for a reasonable price?
How about showing some machining on one of those new fandangled tool machines there?
Nice fan but, I would prefer seeing chips flying around and making a mess on your new shop's floor.
$7000 before tax... A bit out of my price range. Looks well made tho.
Been watching your older videos, “10 shop do’s and don’t” from 2017 , got some good info from it.
Thanks Adam keep doin what your doin
Steve
The noise level of that fan is impressive. Your shirt was billowing in the air it was moving and just a slight whir was all you heard while you had the mic pointed towards the fan.
Going to work good for them hot Florida days.
That is one of the products that has a true and proper name.
Honesty is the best policy!
Very much enjoying seeing the new shop come together!
Great addition to the shop!
12T of AC was not enough... (corrected)
50T?? Where are you coming up with 50T of AC??
@@paulcopeland9035 I had that wrong. 12T total.
Nicest fan I've ever seen. Better be for $7k
I think that's the same company who makes the large ceiling fans.
It looks and sounds like an ECM. those motors are so powerful and energy efficient. It my be good to put a surge protector to help keep the electronics healthy.
Damn dude 7k for a fan 😳
WOW!
The mining literature says that a clean flow of air in the work area is the best way to deal with industrial dust. This is better than respirators or air filters. This is most important with grinding snd sanding.
Very nice Abom
Frank
I think in a mine that is constant fresh air, not recirculated.
Mr Cool is PO'd now... they will probably send another 4 AC units to declare victory.
$7000.00 ???????? No I dont think so
I would expect that fan to be working just as well in 20 years, though.
