I still use an ancient Matco I bought off some random guy in the late 90s. It does two things: reads codes, erases them.
I still use it for all my quick needs. No batteries, no app, no updates, just plug it in and go.
I have a Launch full featured scan tool, but it is always running updates, and I never remember to charge it. Good for more detailed diagnostics, but my old Matco is always there for me.
Unless you’re doing the diagnosis and repairs yourself, get the simplest one you can find.
