He has quite a selection of scanners, and he tends to jump around between them. I would like to see a video where he talks about the pros and cons of each scanner.

It really depends on what you're planning on doing. I would take a used Modis Ultra or Solus Ultra with the latest update. I like to look at PIDs for some driveability concerns, and I like to see them displayed in a graph format. The difference between the two is that the Modis has a built-in...

Sounds like you are looking for a Power Probe, but those aren't cheap. In a bind, I've used speaker wire, screwed on banana plugs, and some alligator clips. 1. Speaker wire 2. Banana plugs 3. Alligator clips

Definitely not on eBay. It's rare to see one for <$350, and you'll have to jump on it. Just look at the prices for the MT2400. Way overpriced. I've bought my Vantage Pros off of CL. One of them was like new. Another option would be to get an old Modis EEMS300 for the 4-channel scope. IIRC...

Seriously. The carbon pile battery test is in the Honda, Toyota, GM, and Ford service manuals. There must be a reason why the engineers have put it in there, and why auto tech schools still teach it I will agree that a midtronics battery tester is more convenient and faster because it's...

Why not a used Snap-On Vantage Pro? I've seen them for ~$300. It's enough for auto repair. I haven't run into anything where it wasn't adequate yet. Maybe I don't do enough. :dunno:

Depends how much you're looking to get for it. I thought about getting a first gen Modis for the 4 channel scope, but I found a cheap Vantage Pro.

Fortunately, you can just take it back and get a another box.

PM me the link. I'm tempted.

$250 for a C3! I'd be on my way for it.

Was that with a trade in? It's rare to read about someone getting new box without a trade-in. The only time I asked about a box, my SO dealer started at MSRP and then took off the trade-in and rebates. I forgot which KRL it was for. Then I saw an Epiq 68" on CL for $4k which I thought was a...

It has a welded repair on the jaw. :(

I would buy the following: 1. Pomona 5907A or Fluke TL224 made in China. Those Flukes worked well for me so far. 2. Get some of these Alligator clips 3. Pomona backprobe pins that you can plug the leads into. Personally, I just use T-pins. AESWave has other styles that you might like. 4...

Most pick-n-pulls are on soft gravel, and the yards are usually empty during the week. That must be a scary situation to be in. I have taken cordless impacts into the yards so not all power tools are banned.

I also noticed they discontinued their 1/4" SAE semi-deep socket set. They still sell the sockets individually though. :dunno: http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Sockets/1-4-Drive-Chrome-Sockets/SM126T/12-PC-1-4-Drive-SAE-Intermediate-Socket-Set-6-PT-

What is the difference between the old and new versions? I'm going to look into the SK sets.

Thanks for the info. I didn't see COO on their website and figured I'd ask here. I can't figure why they don't state they are made in the US. I am also looking at their ratcheting wrenches because they seem to have a bigger selection.

What are your guys thoughts on the Marco ratcheting wrenches?

I'm in the market for some universal impact sockets. I've searched the forum and the consensus seems to be that the Matco pinless are the way to go. However, most of their stuff is now made overseas and it seems like their stuff is the same as Gearwrench with a Matco logo stamped on them now...

Dang. I would have suggested OP to consider a Snap-On Vantage Pro for his intended use. It looks like the conversation shifted to higher level scoping.
