I can tell you’ve never even seen how they do slate roofs, let alone seen a repair. You might wanna delete the comment cause you look dumb.

[@stich1960]

Seems like it's going to damage the ridge. Almost every bridge hook I've seen doesn't work was a vented ridge and would damage a normal ridge

[@davidwade6164]

Yeah I thought the same that hook would break or crack the ridge tile 👍

[@SICresinwrks]

Exactly what my 1st thought was, clearly made by someone thats probably never been on roof lol

Agree, the hook would be my concern.

This isn’t for existing roof repair it’s for new installations where the ridge is bare of tiles or vent caps
