The optimal blade pitch angle is 14 degrees. It optimizes airflow and decreases temperature stratification. And they're much more efficient than air conditioners -- all the energy societies recommend them -- a quality fan can be just as good as an air conditioner. I mentioned this because I looked up this question early and just got studies about optimal pitch angles and lost interest. I just remembered the 14% part..
Oh and yea, just grab the glass and twist. Little teeny dab of superglue on three fingers right before you grab the glass if you really need to wrench on it. The key here is teeny.
