Is is worth it? if you're a weekend warrior i'd suggest atleast an Autel scan tool. If its your every day profession, I recommend the snap on one. What do you guys think?
I always been using snapon scan tool for many of years one scan can't do all the work that's why you got to have more than one some times snapon does some car's better than my lanuch or aute.l autel and lanuch does some car's better than snapon that's why you got to have more than one scan tool.
@@mastertechrob1522 hi nice video bro 😎 I have a question my Solus edge everytime I plug it in a Toyota it blind all the lights on the dashboard I hope it’s the cable . Any advice thanks
I’ve known about snap-on for decades now and I’m old, most of the time in the early days it’s selling point on spanner’s and screwdrivers was a lifetime guarantee, but it’s aways be one of those status iver lott brands, not for the Tony broke mechanic..either way the tools are overpriced…
No. My autel 908 pro gets used every day. 15k snapon zues just sits unused most of the time. No one scan tool does it all however higher end autel units are very hard to beat.
@@mastertechrob1522 sure was but I'm restoring his 47 foot boat and putting my heart into it,, like you I wouldn't pay 6000 dollars for a scanner, l told him I wanted to invest around 800 and I'm sure he took a loss,, even used there well worth 3000
I have this exact scanner. It is awesome. I do have the subscription to keep it updated. I use it everyday in my job and on the side. I will update to the D10.
This is the modis edge. The Zeus can do way more and is am excellent scanner. The Ethos does very well for how much it can do. The new one compsrible to modis is the Apollo
Do I have to update my snap on scanner every year. I’m wanting to use it for reading motor and transmission codes and live data. I know updates will let me access newer models and such. Can I get away with a update every 3-4 years
Sorry for the late reply. Ethos does not have the lab scope built it. I'm not sure about guided component test either. The guided component test is the big buying point for me
No snap-on scan tool will accommodate this procedure. You’ll need a PC to run the GM software, you’ll need an account to purchase the flashing subscription, and a J2534 device to connected your PC to the car. Unless you’re going to do this 50x year, it’s worth it to just pay a mobile flash guy or the dealer.
So far it sucks for coding the alarm into my E46 BMW. Its supposed to be simple but nope, no luck. Good thing I borrowed it from my friend, who paid $4000 for it.

I have noticed that. I 100 Percent agree. I feel like Autel does better with Honda's and Toyota's in my opinion

It sounds like a short in the cable. I would replace the cable first.
@@robhumphries1936 thanks bro
@@videshsookram9810 I heard theres an issue with Toyotas and scanner causing electrical problems if you don't have an update. Might check into it.

Totally agree,, l just got a Snapon MODIS ULTRA from my Snapon guy 2019 19.4 750 dollars he hooked me up
That is quite the hook up

I’m looking at getting one used. Do you have to pay to use it over time or just for the updates?
@jakefoskett1604 sorry for the late reply. Just for updates. The subscription will save you money. FYI. I did upgrade to the D10. It's even better.
I love the orange color of your snap on box.
I personally think they're worth every penny
I own Xtool and Autel scanners. Snap-On tools are overpriced. No Thank You
Can it disable and enable Air ride suspension on range rovers?
I'm not 100 percent sure. I would guess yes. Only temporarily
So to program any module airbag to any car need to register with snap on account or ?
will you lose some functions on snap on Apollo d9 if you didn't update?
What snap on scanner is it is it the ethos edge is it the Zeus I would like a little bit more detail besides Snap-On scanner
This is the modis edge. The Zeus can do way more and is am excellent scanner. The Ethos does very well for how much it can do. The new one compsrible to modis is the Apollo
What level of diagnostics do you do kid?
@@dieseldabz7104 ecu programming and flash and mid to low adas
@@robhumphries1936 The triton is closer to the modis with the 2 channel lab scope.

You do not HAVE to. only optional. It will not stop working.
My husband boss wants to pass him software to laptop...is that same diagnostic testing??.
I've heard the Snap-On Ethos Edge has the same functionality and is cheaper. Can you confirm this?
Sorry for the late reply. Ethos does not have the lab scope built it. I'm not sure about guided component test either. The guided component test is the big buying point for me
Can that snap on scanner scan a 1997-1999 VR/VS Holden Commodore?
How deep into the video does one have to go to get to where you tell us the name of the friken scanner and the version?
Uh.... shows clearly as soon as he picks it up, it is a Modus Edge. Like 49 seconds in.
The answer to that is definatly No
How much does it cost to update??
Can you do regens with this?
Yes you absolutely can.
I have to flash the BCM on Chevrolet Cruze for Factory fog light addition. Will the Modis Edge do the trick ? Thanks
No. You will need a j234 device/ jbox and run acdelco flashing software (tds) or have a dealer do it. They can usually do it for 1 labor hour
@@robhumphries1936 what is a j234 device and s can a snap on run acdelco flash ?
A j2534 let's you run OEM diagnostics and flashing. Snap on cannot do this.

No go to the dealer for that
Free updates?????? To much money fir home use
Great review

😂
How much is it
3k. I got a 3k discount with mine
Is it good for marine vehicles
It is not.
Snap-on does make a dedicated tool for motorcycles and PWCs, it’s called the P1000
What is the intro song?
I'm not quite sure. I don't remember. Lol
Can you do throttle recent on
yes
NOPE!!! Junk if you work on anything European!!
