[RE-wrenches] Truss finder

[frenergy]

Kris,

             Seems there was discussion about scanners before and I 
don't remember anyone saying they found one that was reliable especially 
with varying roofing materials.  Our current method is fist-thumping to 
get in the area of the rafter, drill exploratory hole then use the 
Chiptoolz rafter finder:

Its stupid simple low-tech but works great.  Could be there is now a 
reliable hi-tech scanner that works in all cases.
