Oscillating fan recommendations?

I just picked up another "monkey fan" because my local grow shop has them cheap and they oscillate. That being said it squeaks, clicks, and is already annoying me. It wasn't until I got it home that I remembered the last one of these I got stopped oscillating after 2 months and died completely after 6....

Can anyone recommend a decent fan that oscillates and isn't to heavy? Clipping onto a grow tent would be great but I'm willing to zip tie it up if necessary.

These are the only oscillating fans I have had last more than a couple years. The hurricane fans always seem to crap out within a year or two max. downside is these are pretty big and not cheap.

I almost forked out for a hurricane fan but the size/weight seemed too much for my needs. I’ve got circulation below canopy solid, just need something to run up top.

You guys need to get some oil into the moving parts of your fans, you shouldnt be having a fan wear out in a matter of a year EVER. Its way cheaper then buying new fans like under 5 bucks even in a nice applicator bottle.

I really like the mount on the monkey fans. I take the monkey fans apart when the stop oscillating or start making noise and put them back together. grease the oscillating gears. They work fine again for a while anyway. I had one that totally stopped working all bound up. I disassembled and reassembled and it’s fine now. Don’t angle them down at all when oscillating as it says in the literature.

I picked up a bunch of Hurricanes wall mounted oscillating fans. I am using this wire shelving I got from Home Depot to hang them in the tent. I haven't decided the best length to cut yet, but it's 16in wide, I cut my first couple at 3 feet, so I got 2 hanging in my 5x5. The back of the Hurricane just clips right on just like it would its mount you put on the wall, seems pretty secure. I will update with some pics later.

That's not the exact one I got, I don't remember the details as I just bought the rack itself, not a whole rig. Mine is white.
