Q: How easy was it to use?
A:. Very easy that even a beginning technician can navigate the tool.
Q: How was its packaging? Did it come with any accessories?

A: This tool is impressive in what it can perform. That said, compatibility with all protocols would be nice. I did have an issue where it didn’t detect all modules on a ‘21 Ford Transit 150. With constant updates, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is taken care of on a future update.
Q: What types of jobs/repairs did you use this tool for?
A: I used this for scanning a ‘21 Ford Transit 150, ‘21 Subaru Eyesight (driver assist) data capture of auto adjustment after static was completed, and a Ford Escape parameter reset options, which does require a code to be obtained.

A: No concerns, it works as desired.
Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this tool overall? Why?
