Just got this last week, going to check out the 2nd tank on my sons truck to see what we need to do to get it working. Then stick it into one of the O2 sensor bungs on the Sploder to see whats up with the cat that keeps popping codes.

This is the next tool on my list to buy. I got to use one while working on the rock crawler for the last 11 days, they work great and are magnetic so they stay where you put them, and the head swivels.

On my wish list for a scope. Let us know how you like it.

I'd be scared to see what snap-on wants for the scope. :oops:
$400.00 And it's available on line for half that. Going to see if my son can return it when the snap on truck comes back to his work. If it won't stream the picture onto an adult sized screen it's almost useless.

My local dealer sells them for around $260 iirc. It's useful, but not enough bells and whistles for me. The better ones cost WAY more. I can't afford it, lol.

I wrote this on a response to a thread here and figured it fit right here as well.

I recently purchased a set of 1/4" drive torx bits from Harbor Freight.
While at the junkyard, I put the big one to the test.
I first tried it with my 1/4 inch Makita driver and it wouldn't budge the seatbelt bolt.
Then I used the Milwaukie 1/4 inch impact driver and it had all the poop that was needed.

The bit stayed in one piece and worked quite well.
I would recommend them for sure for just that purpose.

Snapon Triton D10 scanner, low voltage probe, high voltage probe, pressure transducer, extra long oscillate probes.
The D10 is in my opinion the best and most user friendly diagnostic tool we currently sell. Yes the Zeus is more capable. But takes more time.

The bk3000 is a nice entry level unit. If you have vision problems the bk7000 might be a better choice for you.
