The best functional tools for diagnostics, testing and measurement

I bought this because I own several cars and consider myself a 'friend' mechanic to other people. Besides simply reading the ODB code, you can do the following: - Reset TPMS (Tire Pressure Sensor). If you have a bad wheel sensor, you can install a new one and bind it to your car. Without such a tool, you will have to go to the dealer and have a new sensor installed. - Reset TPS (Throttle Position Alignment). If you've ever cleaned a throttle body, you know it needs to be reset. Many cars require a special tool and this one will do the trick. I recently used it on a 2007 Honda Odyssey. - Run Mode 6 tests - Run ABS (brakes) tests and procedures It supports several dozens of car models, including all popular Honda, Nissan, Ford, etc. models, and you don't need to buy other packages or licenses like you do with NT520 do. It also supports some cars most people have never heard of like Perodua, Vauxhall, Dacia etc. The data is stored on an SD card in the device. Updates are performed by inserting an SD card into a computer and running the updater, which you download from the Foxwell website. It comes with a USB SD card adapter, so you don't need an SD card slot on your computer. The screen is easy to read, the buttons are a bit stiff, but they still work perfectly. The included data cable is ridiculously thick and stiff and could be made thinner, but it's still functional. All advertised features work as expected. Updating the firmware is easy, remember this works best on Windows 10. Mac is not supported. If you just need to read and clear codes, this isn't the device you want - just get a cheap ODB reader. But if you want extra features it might be worth it as dealers can charge you quite a bit for something as simple as replacing a TPMS sensor. I only gave 4 stars due to the overall poorer build quality of the device. , and the keys are a cheap membrane type that tends to stop working after heavy use.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
