Hello. You do an excellent job! I have experience with these scanners and what I can say is that Thinktool, Topdon or Artipad are all copies of the Launch brand. I say this because Launch was the first and then came these companies that belong to the same companies or had an agreement to use the software. If you look at the menu in the software, only different colors are identical. The one who remained unique is the Autel. I mean, these Chinese companies produce the same product with different names. I respect your work. 👍

@MechanicMindset

Thanks YOYO! Yes it’s all Launch based, the ThinkTool Mini even said ‘Launch Powered’ when you turn it on. I think it’s branding mainly. Autel are doing similar now with Otofix… They’re all at it 😅

Lots of features, this video could go on for ever 🤣. I used to use the same feature on VW dealer tool. It was good, but not very exciting 😄

I have an Autel 908s and 4 months ago i bought a Thinktool Pro. It has been very very good,battery life better than the Autel and the coverage is very good. Bad points.... You cannot print to your PC directly . Worst thing is checking the history and locating the last time you had previously done a car,Autel wins that one hands down. All in all very happy.
