[RE-wrenches] S5! question

[Maverick Brown [Maverick Solar]]

Jay

The is always right!

Just carefully align the S-5!s with a mason line and use a plywood template or some other material template to keep these straight. 

We also use a lot of S-5! and have Milwaukee 12v impact drivers to set the screws. Check the torque with a wrench as well.  

Good luck. 

Thank you,

Maverick
