If you could buy one scan tool....which would it be?

[ncautoshop]

Many of us were once techs, but now hold the management role within our facilities - and as much as we'd love to say we're as technically proficient as we once were, the reality is technology is changing SO quickly that it's tough at times to stay on top of it! 

Scan tools are being released at a dizzying pace, and the features required aren't what they were 5 years ago!

In this episode of the ASOG Podcast, David and I talk with Brandon Dills of Jarhead Diagnostics about just that! 

Brandon shares his scan tool choices and what tool, if he could choose only one, that he would purchase!

We also talk some techncian perspective and there's even some dealer perspective in there! 

Make sure you listen to the whole things, as there's some killer information mixed in 😉

I do like my snap on tools, autel is really looking like a better value right now in my opinion. 

 

We end jumping between autel and snap on for most daily task, the autologic drivepro and programming laptops have been a huge lifesaver in many ways too!

Snap On is my go to.  If there is a PID or command missing I grab the Autel.  Between the two I have very few gaps.  I like the Snap On way better than any other tool I've used and I don't like the Autel very much but it is necessary sometimes.

Autel all the way. The bang for the buck is unbeatable. There's very little it can't do that another aftermarket one can.

In a few upcoming episodes, we're talking about new access restrictions and what we face as an industry. 

 

So let me ask this question - what would your reaction be if you lost the ability to obtain even basic data or perform simple functions like a relearn without VSP credentials?
