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...

They also forgot to install the "auto-chute deployment unit" for safe landings from rooftops! Has anyone used the new whizbang sensor from Milwaukee? http://www.milwaukeetool.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=2290-21&CategoryNa me=SC%3a+M12+Cordless+System Lots of technology for around $350. _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: [email protected] Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
