[RE-wrenches] roof attachment in tile roof

[Jason Szumlanski]

I've never used the hooks, although I'm interested in trying the ones from
Quickmount PV. The stand-offs just seem so rock solid. I'm not sure if the
hooks can handle the design wind uplift pressures we deal with in SW
Florida. I would have to present that to an engineer for review.

Either way you still need to remove the tile. The cutting is easy once you
get the hang of it.
