As a 3 year tech, I'm in the market for a scan tool. My lead tech has a Snap on Solas that I like to use. My shop has an Autel that i like for some things, but the Solas excels at others. If I didn't have a Vantage Pro already this might be the scan tool for me. My one question was, under guided component testing did you have bidirectional control with lab scope capabilities? As you said, having separate testing and controls can be vital to a diagnosis. Other than that, I loved the video and wish you'd to similar ones with other scan tools. Eff the haters and eff the full make and model review. As my lead says any tech worth their salt has more than 1 tool to fix a problem, do you have the best tool or can you do the job?
PS, I know a few techs that could use this tool to up their game for slightly better than a parts cannon. Not a necessary tool for you but for some a step in a better direction.

Nice video Eric.
Not sure why everyone talks bad about Snap-on. My snappy guy has taken very good care of me. My modis goes for repair I have a loaner the next day. Same thing with the A/C machine. Tool warranties are never ever questioned and Snap-on tech support has always been top notch. I have never experienced an issue with any of their products and my dealer is hands down, one of the best in the USA. I pay once per year for updates and thats it. None of this every 4 months horseshit. You guys must have some real jerkoff tool dealers.
My brand new modis edge with European software cost me 2099. 00. And that included the 19. 4 update.
I ask for a rep for their office management software. Guy was there next morning.
I must be lucky.

Wow! I found it very informative. You have always put these out just so others can get info on the latest and Greatest. So a few people have an opinion of their own and they just seem to want to bash and be rude and not team players. Well for those guys they need to just keep quiet and not make an issue as I for one like these video's. For you out there that just ruined it for general people. Thanks. Just a reminder for some people that just like to spew and make no sense and just be total Richard Craniums. Shut up and let the man do his thing. If nothing else go post on facebook, and leave the vids out. Not a happy watcher at this point due to the hate crowd.

Every scan tool has functions you like and some you do not. I am a do it my self and need some of the features but not all, since I have been a tech for 30 years in the marine side of things and do use my head for most of it. There are scan tools like mercury marine or Volvo that do a lot of testing. . For the car side of things I purchased a Launch 129x and I am very pleased with it. I do wish the marine would become OBD2 complaint. But I will not hold my breath lol Eric keep it up I do learn from you.

I'm familiar with the original Modis, Modis Edge, Solus Edge, Solus Ultra, OTC Genisys, Autel Maxisys, GM's tech2 and GDS2, Ford IDS and Chrysler Wytec.
For the money, Snap on just isn't worth it. For 4000, a couple thousand LESS then the Snap-on, I can get an Autel with wireless communication AND J2534 pass-through module programming!
Quite honestly, there are enough reviews out on the Zurich ZR PRO, now, that I'm seriously considering buying one.

Eric, in your next video (no PS Chevy) you say no more scan tool videos.
Not one comment here (that I read) disrespects you for your review of the Snappy scan tool. They are reacting to the facts of the tool, mostly the price and sales model (updates and subscription.
I think we would all like more scan tool reviews so we can see the affordable options to Snappy. I know I would.

Good video since Ive been considering it. My guy wants 6400 plus my Solus Edge in return. That price does come with a two year subscription to this intelligent diag program. I am leaning towards keeping Shopkey, since the Triton seems to give you the same info and keeping my Solus Edge or look into a Launch or Autel

I don't very much about scan tools. I trust what Mr. Eric says and one thing that everyone needs to keep in mind is the amount of time he took to produce this video. Not only the time in his shop (money out of his pocket) but time at home editing. I thank you Mr. Eric for telling the truth but in a kind way.

Eric, if I remember correctly, you also have a Launch scan tool, but haven't seen you using it. Can you use it one one of your upcoming diagnostic videos and let us know how you feel about it?

Fail within 1: 45, Dosent hang on steering wheel. What's the point of the kickstand? I doubt 10% of cars allow it to sit on the dash. Little things like that bug me in designing.
