<p><font size="4">There are very good roof mounting systems that do
not require finding the rafter. There was a thread on this
within the past two weeks. I understand the comfort of lagging
into a rafter, but unless you can see the rafters from below,
you'll never know 100% you did not come out the side of the
rafter, especially if the rafter is checked. We use the hammer,
two pilot holes to establish the rafter edge if we are attaching
to the rafter. That is a cool tool though that I never saw
before. Chris</font><br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Kris,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I started using the Bosch D-tect 150 a few years ago after
a friend who had success with it recommended it. Works great
on most roofs. It needs a smooth surface to roll on so I use
a piece of Soladeck box. Older roofs with ply over roof
boards don't scan very well so I sometimes go back to the
mallet method. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also highly recommend the Chip Tool! Every installer
should have one. It's best use in my opinion is for
installing fall protection. I don't recommend it be used with
a "micro flashing" though, as the pilot hole next to the
rafter may only be barely covered by the "flashing".</div>
