Umm, "Blower" is the name of the product. Like "MMM" or "Sidewinder".

Yes, we know there are better fans available. No, I wouldn't pay twice as much for it because it had a better performing fan. Why? Because that expensive fan would still get eaten by sand/sticks etc. and would have to be replaced.

Oh, to the people complaining about it not being made from Aluminum- It isn't a heatsink. It's a shrouded fan. The CC motors already have a heatsink built into them. The Blower is meant to force air around the motor through the heatsink fins for better cooling. Making something like this out of Aluminum would be a waste of said Aluminum as there is not enough contact with the motor case to do any good. If you want some "bling" buy some chrome spray paint.
