[RE-wrenches] fancy stud sensors (was RE: Clean Energy Brands)

[Hans Frederickson]

I saw and tried out the Milwaukee "sub-scanner" at the NECA show in Seattle.
I haven't ever got my hands on the Bosch unit, so I can't give a comparison.
The Milwaukee really needs to have a smooth surface to roll along, so I
don't think it will work on comp shingle roofs. It probably would work fine
on tile roofs once you remove a few tiles to get down to the roof deck. I
did mention to the Milwaukee rep that there would be a significant market at
their price point if they could design a tool that could "see" through comp
shingles accurately. He hinted that they were working on it...

Howdy All,

I have used the Bosch unit for a while, and even it is not fool proof.  They
also forgot to install the "auto-chute deployment unit" for safe landings
from rooftops!

Has anyone used the new whizbang sensor from Milwaukee?

Lots of technology for around $350.
