This is one of two Costco deals on DEWALT we found in the last week. In addition to the DEWALT 8 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac, this DEWALT fan gets great reviews on Reddit DEWALT subs.

Product Overview

The DEWALT 16 in. 3-Speed Benchtop and Hanging Drum Fan (DXF1616) is a rugged, high-velocity fan built to move air fast in tough environments. Whether you're cooling down a hot garage, ventilating a dusty jobsite, or improving airflow in a workshop, this fan delivers power and versatility in a compact, durable frame.

With a three-speed motor, the DXF1616 offers adjustable airflow to suit different tasks—from light air movement to heavy-duty ventilation. The 16-inch drum design maximizes output while keeping the unit small enough for benchtop or wall-mounted use. It includes integrated hanging hooks for easy vertical mounting and a pivoting head to direct airflow where it’s needed most.

The all-metal construction and reinforced housing stand up to rough conditions, making it a solid choice for contractors, mechanics, and serious DIYers.
