THE REVIEW:
Q: How did the tool/
equipment function as
far as saving you time?
A: I've got quite a few scan
tools, especially since I do training and
have my own shop, so the tablet format
makes it very convenient to just grab it
and get in there in a timely fashion. This
is important especially when it comes
to commercial vehicles because there's
somebody on the other end of the line
that wants to know if they should schedule
the truck.
Q: What kind of setup was involved
before using the product?
A: The setup was typical of any kind
of phone or computer-based device.
Basically, you're setting up for Wi-Fi and
some personal settings that are required
by most scan tools.
Q: How easy was it to use?
A: Yeah, it was easy. It's more buttonology.
Because it's a tablet platform, you
kind of learn between your smartphones
and everything how to start navigating.
The bottom line is it's like anything else,
you just have to power it up and then
start playing with it. You're not going to
hurt anything.
Q: How was its packaging? Did it
come with any accessories?
A: It came in a fairly sturdy case. It's
one of those permanent cases that you
want to keep your tools in all the time, and
it had various cables laid out very neatly in
there. They do have an OBD 16-pin breakout
box that comes with it too, so I'm sure
that will wind up being useful.
Q: What features did you like?
A: I
l iked the separat ion avai lability
of choosing between engines,
between vehicles and some of the
other stuff too like agriculture and offroad
equipment.

Q: What features
didn't you like?
A: I think the connection
cable should be a
little bit longer than it is, and I would
like to see some printing functionality. It
does have Snapshot though.
Q: What types of jobs/repairs did
you use this tool for?
A: I've used it on diagnosing some
Cummins' CNG engines. Also, because
it's a global platform, they're pretty good
about getting into Isuzu's Hinos. That's
stuff that would normally be a little hard
to get into as far as hooking up and being
able to connect and communicate with
different vehicles.
Q: How does this tool compare to
other tools you've used like it?
A: I have quite a few scan tools. The
best way I can describe this is this is a
budget-minded scan tool. Depending on
what your budget is, you do get a good
bang for the buck.
