The desk fan, office desk fan and restored desk fan are junk items in Fallout 4.
Characteristics
Desk fans were commonly used to cool down during warm temperatures before the War and can be found in homes and offices across the Commonwealth.
The pre-War, restored variant of the desk fan is in pristine condition. The name suggests it has been repaired from a broken state, however it can be found in places such as non-compromised Vaults.
Crafting
Desk fans can be broken down into components to use in crafting.
