Need a new scan tool

I bought this Bosch a little while ago, paid under $160 for it new. It reads live data, abs, srs, and many other codes. Even has suggestions for the top fixes for certain codes. You can go on the Bosch website and download the software for free that enables you to update the scan tool whenever updates are available.

when I used to be a dealer tech, I used scan tools that costs thousands of dollars. It’s not as nice as that, but for the guy that works on his own stuff, it’s hard to beat

They're nice, but they have a refresh rate. That means it's not live data. It's a pretty quick refresh rate and they advertise it as live data, but it's not. I've used that very tool. It works well. You can stand there and WATCH the screen refresh. That's freeze frame. It's real quick refresh rate freeze frame, but it's freeze frame. You don't get true live data until "around" a thousand dollars.
