When I bought mine, I know there was no sticker on the package. Of course, now that I am thinking about a new one, I have found a secret way to determine where the nails are…without using the MT-6!
One not so secret way involved a chisel and a hammer! :shock: :shock:

I’d buy that one just for the fancy case! I am sure I could find a use for it!

Reread your statement:

This home was a non-hip roof…at least as far as the 1802 goes…

Does anyone know what the white sploches on the sheathing is? It seems to generally be around the hatch openings.
