Sorry for the Pete & Repeat. It was late I was tired & Frankly I just didn’t catch it during editing. Sorry everyone. I was just really excited to share with you My New Snap-On Scan Tool and wanted to see other’s opinions if they own the Triton. Thanks again. When I get to know it better I’ll do a separate video 🍻🤙
All man been been playing with them my self. Lucky for me I work on fleet buses. So in my days off I have been there Comparing good readings with good reads and bad readings for understanding and help me troubleshoot better
Im still a big fan of snap on but I do have many scanners, this line isn’t new been out for years but I have a Zeus, Autel Ultra, Autel IM608, Lauch Torque, Bosch ADS625 etc etc I tell you what the Autel Ultra for 5k is absoutley awesome I can’t speak highly enough about it. Whole new animal. The Ultra comes with a Mega can J2534 and 4ch scope built in. Does topology like Chrysler, also had pin out and guided component tests etc. one thing is the snap on fills in holes that the Autel has and visa versa you almost need them both, good luck with it I’m sure you’ll love it.
Justin Dow.. Great video and awesome scan tool. Way expensive though, dammnn.. Looking forward to seeing what it can do. Keep up the good work brother..
I have a Ethos Edge Pro. I like it because it's hard wired. ( I am EMF Sensitive. ) Works good for scanning modules and clearing lights. All the Dealerships I worked at liked to take advantage of me being able to clear lights on cars for them. The dealer body shop had me use it a lot for them as well.

Welding Junkie I actually just got my first scan tools. Started with a very basic code reader, the Launch Creader. But then had the opportunity to get a Thinkscan TS601. Not even sure all the things I can use it for yet! Haha. Although it’s still bottom of the line compared to something like this snap on.
Im looking at the autel system at the moment but I do really like the snap on scan tools juat can't drop the coin on them at moment also want to get an older snap on vantage pro or some other graphing multimeter, it's time for me to get into diagnostics way more
My boss just bought the Zeus. Honestly I kind of like the old scan tool better. The Zeus display so much data at once, it can’t keep up with the live numbers, It lags a little bit. Still trying to get familiar with it.
Thanks Brotherman. It’s been some Long Days & Nights at the shop. Honestly just wanted Share my excitement & didn’t catch how much I was repeating myself
Hey, we're not film makers, we're mechanics. Yes, Eric is both. But he learned how to be. I've been at this trade for 40 years and have yet to upload a video. Enjoy these guys that share. I do.
Here’s a video that I Put together a while back covering most of your question. If you scroll through my earlier content you’re gonna find other videos Showing what in my opinion you need to start out with. ruclips.net/video/TrjO_TmZfd4/видео.html
Right on dude, that is badazz!!! The more you use a tool the more proficient and productive you become!!! You ever need any tips or advice hit me up, you got my number!!!🍻✌🤙
Why do you need a scope for smog check in California? I'm a big fan of the scope and use mine and about 75% of my diags but I'm confused on the smog check. I'm in Cleveland ohio far from Cali. What if you have a scope but don't know how to use it?
I thought they just came out with a D 9 to replace? The D 8 . I had one it was fast turning on. Snappy convinced me get the Zeus like the wireless but the D8 was faster start up and a lot less money.
I may have missed spoke. You don’t need the Internet to turn on the scan tool. But you’re gonna want the Internet in order to use their pro link/identify fix product which will give you known repair situations to other mechanics and technicians have run into. I just got it this evening and I have not even begun to scratch the surface as far as using it or what all it comes with. So when I get a chance to use it more and become more proficient with the newer platform I’ll do a different video about it
Get that strap on and take it.. they don’t spit on it either... I won’t ever go back to snap on tools; bunch of knock offs with the huge ass mark up... the. Sad thing is some of my HF tools have outlasted a few snap on tools and a lot of my Mac tools.
I have used the MaxiSys every day, & I can tell you there are pids the Autel won't even recognize. Also it doesn't bi-directional in all systems. I used to borrow a Snap-On tool about every other day to diag BCM problems. BTW Bosch/OTC is junk, super laggy & can only do half of what a comparable Snap-On would do. Haven't got to play with a Launch/Matco scanner (Matco's big scanners are rebranded Launch).
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway Snap-On has had good scanners for years. They are a good choice. The biggest drawback has always been the way they update & the cost to do it. I hear on the Launch you can skip years & then update it all at once for a single update cost.
I just love how honest you are and real you are about the challenges you run into.

Your enthusiasm is inspiring. Go for it. The only real limitations are the ones we place on ourselves.
A man who knows what he does not know is a wise man. Teach him. Thanks for the video.
I was an engineer for snap on diagnostics for several years. I have since retired. Let me know if you have any question regarding the product
Any benefits to the autel scanner compared to snap on...big fan of the snap on product and current have a snap on Zeus.
Awesome man. I have the Triton as well, it's awesome. Thanks for help finding a boroscope for me on your livestream too man, diag on!
All man been been playing with them my self. Lucky for me I work on fleet buses. So in my days off I have been there Comparing good readings with good reads and bad readings for understanding and help me troubleshoot better
Snap On’s Jbox is called the Pass Thru Pro IV. It’s basically a CarDAQ Plus 3 with Snap On software. Made by Drew Tech.
The new one is called pass through assist.
Hi Justin been wrenching 4 decades still learning every day looking into that scanner please post as many vids as you have time to thanks

You are a Awesome mechanic tech bro. I earned from your videos. You have honest opinions on tools.
5k? Holy Schnikies! Not a DIY product. Lol. But I like what you said about learning new things. Good stuff.

Great platform and very handy
Good video, what to see videos in future on using the scan tool.
I just wish Snap On wouldn't be a year or 2 behind on most manufacturers and I wish they weren't missing some manufactures

Make sure you create an account for altisdrive AKA snap on cloud ☁️, it saves your scans, pre and post.
My boss just bought the Zeus. Honestly I kind of like the old scan tool better. The Zeus display so much data at once, it can’t keep up with the live numbers, It lags a little bit. Still trying to get familiar with it.
Try customising the data group by selecting only the pids you want to look at
Luke Leon cool, I’ll look into it 👍🏽
In the automotive industry there always something to learn.
Good on you dude for investing in your future.
Dad bought the Snap On Apollo D8,found out the Modis we have is already obsolete for updates and going to trade that in.
A guy who does a lot of diagnosis is south main Auto have seen him explain a lot . You might check him out on utube
I’ve been eyeballing the Pro-link for a while now. If I knew they’d have off road coverage soon, I’d be all over it.
Not even mad about the hiccups in recording and editing, you’re human, just roll with it
Thanks Brotherman. It’s been some Long Days & Nights at the shop. Honestly just wanted Share my excitement & didn’t catch how much I was repeating myself
Snap-On has a designated programmer, it remote programs. It should be in the current Shop & Tech, I think?
i been looking at the autel ultra, looks really promising

Could you do a video showing what tools you need to for a new mechanic starting out
Here’s a video that I Put together a while back covering most of your question. If you scroll through my earlier content you’re gonna find other videos Showing what in my opinion you need to start out with.

O2’s (wave forms) California requirement
Good Video

Hey Justin how the D8 performance ?
Not sure Tried it out for a week traded it in for the Triton. Tried that out for a week, Bought the Zeus
Great if you have the time please tell me how the new Zeus scanner is performance I am interested in this tool👍
Is that the same engine from the Mazda mx6/ Ford probe ??
wow amazing it is possible to buy it online iam from Philippines and how much
I might be thinking of Apollo?
Hey have you ever heard of the launch X431
There goes a month's wages. Did you get the insurance on it? Lol
Does it work with obd 1
Hey Justin!
Cheers!
Bad ass tool
No wireless option, But must have wifi to turn on?
No wireless option for the scanner to the dlc port it does have a wireless wifi if that helps

Why not Autel? They seem to be far superior and half the price plus they have better warranties. SMA uses Autel and he is one of the best i have seen.
Just thought I’d go with the Triton.
