Highlights
Quality
Easy to use; good length cable; clears codes well
Good quality, very pleased with its accuracy, ease of use, and reliability.
Attempted to hook it up to a 99 pick up truck and was not able to connect using the generic obd-ii function.
Pulled and erased code on hino 268.

I didn’t want to send it into the shop because down time means no $$$$.

Packaging/appearance
With all the scan tools that are available this one kind of sets itself apart from the pack.

I've used a lot of different car code readers, but this was the first truck reader i've seen of this style.
Went through 3 other brands before finding one that will actually read freightliner truck system.
