    Very good video! Seeing the tool in action let's know how well it works. I like my Clore "COB" lights (Light-N-Carry) but even the pocket LED lights do a great job. Doing short tool videos like this one is the best. I hope to see more.

    Nice video Mario, Great detail and honest feedback shared on each tool, well done. In the last 12 months we tried out many scan tools to cover what we need. Snap on D10, Launch Euro Tab II, Zenith Z5, Autel 919 & the Autel Ultra. We landed on the Autel Ultra after extensive use, The scope is nice, fast set up and overall it's been a welcome addition to the workshop after upgrading from an earlier Snap On. Pico is King but it's nice to have scan tool features and a scope all together with an easy flow. I was always a huge Launch fan but Autel was a much better package. Lights are like drugs to Techs, it's a problem and we should have a group session to address it 🤣

    Awesome vid man, i love vids like this. I went to Yamaha school about a year ago and it was my second advanced electrical class where they taught us about using Oscilloscopes and it opened up a whole new world to me. Being in the powersports world we don't use them much but as things get more advanced, It's gonna make my job easier and put me on another level. Awesome light review too. I use a stylus pro everyday in the shirt pocket. There's almost no black paint left on it. =)

    With the TopDon I do like that I can have my web tabs, my scantool and my scope all in one. But I've had a lot of instances where the dongle just stops communicating with the car. And I have to unplug it and plug it back in so that it will communicate. And when first connecting to a car it takes a long time. You plug the dongle in. And wait. The open up the scantool and wait. The auto detect the car and wait. With my Launch X431 I connect. Within seconds I auto detect. And I'm in. To be honest I'm a bit disappointed so far with the TopDon. I've tried programming 3 cars since I've had it. Which is 2 weeks now. And so far you either need an ethernet or the download says not available. There have also been cars it simply won't see. I plug in my Autel Ultra in and within seconds I'm in. So idk what's the deal with that. But to be the latest and greatest it's slower than Autel Ultra and the Launch X431. And sometimes will lose connection to a car mid diag. Also the scope feature is finicky. If you screen swap while using the scope when you go back to the scope it restarts itself automomaticly and you lose your capture. Again the Autel won't do that.

    f=1/t so as long as a scope gives correct time/div, no problem. Low end scantools sometimes display signal without indicating time base. There are odd circumstance where a frequency counter is needed over an o-scope, but I can't think of anything automotive at the moment- thats more for the transmitter world. Nice review - I need to pick up some better tech, and this was straight up.

    Great info there! Gotta say I completely agree with the Phoenix Max comments, they are quick to respond if you talk to the right person, however I'm yet to actually have any feedback sorted. I mean I'm have issues with Autovin on nearly everything. Even had a Beta loaded on it today, fixed ALL issues with the car I was connected to at the the of the update, plugged it into another car and all the issues came straight back. For VW stuff I'm finding it very disappointing, I'm grabing my Autel MS908 or VCDS first again, and the Max is in its case in the office. Shame really, as it wasn't a cheap tool and I've only had it 3 weeks!

    I always love tool reviews from people who are using the tools every day and I added a few to my Wishlist. One of the things I'm always looking for is the perfect light, which is impossible because of all the different places you need lighting and I find myself always needing more light. I think that is because I'm using 63 year old eyes to be honest. I would love to have one of those Larson Electronics lights but they are outrageously expensive. Could you possible share the link where you found them for a reasonable price? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the great videos.

    Hey Mario if a girl contacts you about a wiring/parasitic draw on an F150 I sent her to you. Battery was dead and a previous owner did "work" on this thing and removed the drivers side door lock so the only way to open it is with the remote. I opened it for her with lockout tools and she asked me if I knew anyone local about her electrical issues so I gave her your info. She said the wiring harness was replaced a year ago also. I think it's a 2013 jacked up F150 :)
