    Best home use auto scan tool

    Originally I wanted to spend around $100. But on that budget couldn't find abs, srs, and live data. I am leaning toward the one in your link. Found it on amazon under 200. How would you rate the updates? Is there a charge for updating the unit...

    Gearwrench non-ratcheting wrench defects

    Of course! I forgot how much I liked this forum. The feedback and support is great. Yes I got my set from an ebay seller, who gave me a free replacement no questions asked 3 years ago. On top of that a product manager from gearwrench sent me a PM on this forum offering to replace them as...

    Gearwrench non-ratcheting wrench defects

    Hello, first time back on the forum in 3 years. Just wanted to say these wrenches have really held up in 3 years of professional auto work. Would recommend them to any technician.

    Best home use auto scan tool

    Shopping around and there are wayyyy too many options of scan tools with no way of knowing their true quality. Looking for one to use on personal cars and friends and family here and there. Hope to get one that reads ABS and SRS/air bag too. What scan tools do you guys own and stand by?

    Gearwrench non-ratcheting wrench defects

    I understand, yet all the offsets have problems. I lined up all the wrenches flat and looks at them straight on and it's like a small wave with the offsets. Oh ya another thing i forgot to mention, my 14mm is curved lol. I really need to know, did anyone else have this bad of an experience...

    Gearwrench non-ratcheting wrench defects

    Absolutely. That was the first thought that came to my mind when I lined up the wrenches and picked out every imperfection down the line. The ebayer I purchased from is sending me another 16mm to replace this sorry excuse for quality control. I suppose you truly do get what you pay for.
