I checked my Harbor Freight today (08/20/24) and the T7, T8 & T10 are available. I’m going all in on their T10 just as soon as a coupon becomes available (if I can wait). I think I’ll take advantage of their 0% as well.
T7 is launching in October.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍
@wrenchaddition you’re right i got mine for 1449 with that cupón
You cannot combine 0% APR with any coupon as far as I know. It’s either or
@@yellowstrat86Yes you actually can. I got mine for 1449 and i think was 18 or 24 months with no interest.
Picked up my T8 a few months back after a couple trips to Oregon to avoid the tax monster.
Having RUclips is phenomenal. Just being able to refer to another howto video for some confidence boost is awesome. I'm truly diggin these!
Thank you for your detailed, thorough and thoughtful reviews of both the t8 and the t10. I am not a professional mechanic I have been a shade tree mechanic for my own, and my family's vehicles for almost 50 years. Somebody posted in the harbor freight comment for the t8 that it does all the sensors for Chrysler Dodge and Jeep. That is extremely important to me because I am battling a bug in my 2015 Dodge dart which stumped a professional mechanic and even his homeboys which he contacted in an attempt to resolve the problem. This car uses a unique setup on the intake valve train. They use computer-controlled solenoids to control the 8 intake valves. This is in lieu of a camshaft on the intake valve side. The exhaust valves are in a traditional valve train with a cam and a chain. This is done to squeeze every last HP out of the motor without putting a turbo in it. They get 183 horsepower out of a 2.5 L four banger. The thing I want the icon to do is be able to monitor the output of the computer to the solenoids and the feedback from the solenoids in real time. As soon as I am assured that it will do that I will buy the t8. I don't need all the bells and whistles of the t10 I already have a really good borescope camera. I saw the South Main Auto channel use one of these and I believe it provided direct links to the wiring diagrams of the Chevy Silverado he was working on. Does the T8 do this, or do I need to buy the T10?
I bought the t8 nice unit! Find it to be better for the newer vehicles then our fleet of older ones but still enough to get the job done
It’s definitely a powerful tool! Glad you like it!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍👊
I’m with Jay…….ive got deep pockets too. Getting the T10! 😂
Spend that money!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍😎
Fresh Vintage Garage... Cool video. I would like to have both of them.
Thanks for checking out the ICON series! They are awesome to use and work well ☺️
Stay tuned as we're not sure of the exact timing, but the consumer version ICON T7 scan tool is going to be released here later this year! Please consider Subscribing too we really appreciate your support and patronage 👊
I recently bought a snap on modis and I want guided component testing and all the benefits without having to be tied to an internet connection or a subscription account. My newest car is a 2008 so I am much as I want the latest and greatest do I really need that T10? I like it but I would like to wait till the software gets flushed out.
My son bought the t10 and ho-ly cr*p, talk about total confusion. This is after my son using my snapon modis edge for a few years. Navigating thru aaaaaall the things on the screen is just mind numbing. Snapon modis edge and then to the t10, oh boy. I had already found the problem with the vehicle while my son was still trying to find his way around in the t10.
It does take some practice.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍👊
Could you check door and headlamp switch parameters with them?
Per Icon as long as the vehicle supports the parameters they should check them.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍👊
I’ll be getting T10. No shop, just personal use
I would imagine there is a subscription service you would need to eventually renew just like any other scan tool.
You're exactly right - zero (like none) of the OEM car manufacturers give access to their proprietary software away for free. I'm still blown away everyday by how many people on the internet seem clueless to the fact that the subscription fees on these scan tools are simply just to cover the costs of what the vendor has to pay to gain access to the OEM proprietary software. We thank you for watching and checking out our channel!
Is Harbor Freight going to come out with Semi truck ,heavy truck , heavy duty equipment version ? I plan on getting a t10 unit in near future .
Thanks for watching! At this time there are no plans for a heavy duty version of the T10 per Harbor Freight 👍
I’m gonna go with the T10
Great Choice! We appreciate you letting us know, watching and Subscribing too!
Will both do a relearn? Have an 07 Cadillac XLR Convertible that needs the top relearned. Called 4 Cadillac dealers and none called me back.
Unfortunately it will not support this.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍👊
You can do that with a Tech 2
I have a clone that cost me just over $300 from China 9 years ago. Get a couple spare GM PCMCIA cards with the tool if you can.
Any news if the bore scope and battery tester will be available to buy separately for the t8?
Great question! Thank you for watching and Subscribing to Fresh Vintage Garage we appreciate it ☺️
We are compiling questions to send to the ICON team and we'll follow up and let you know here soon 👍
I feel abit burned Topology isn't for the t8 would've been a great addition
Agreed 💯!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍
Can you reprogram injectors and put the code with either of tgem
Any of the Icon scan tools can do this.
Thanks for watching and subscribing 👍👊
They still do not show on the harbor freight website
They added it recently! 👍
Can the t8 reprogram key fobs and does it give you transmission and other motor temps? It's 799 right now with ITC and the one I have now doesn't read any of that stuff.
These type of scanners have limited capacity to program immobilizers specially in very modern vehicles. There are specialized Immobilizer tools available.
Thanks for checking out the T8 - this will show the transmission temps if the vehicle outputs those (basically the vehicle needs to have the coolant temp sensor, transmission temp sensor/etc...temp sensor installed and the T8 can pull and display that information); key fob reprogramming is a tricky thing as it is very much not universal and can vary quite a bit OEM to OEM. Which year/make/model are you working with? We can check with HF and let you know thanks.
Im looking for a new scan tool I’ve heard good stuff about these. How much are the subscription on these? But T10 would be the option to get.
Harbor Freight has not yet released the software subscription pricing as the ICON scan tool series is brand new thanks.
So with updates to the 8, it will run the same as the 10 with topology installed?
Thanks for watching we do appreciate it! The Topology is exclusive to the ICON T10 from what we've been told by Harbor Freight 👍
im trying to find out if T10 will let me go in and change shift times on the trans
The T10 will not program shift times/points in transmissions thanks!
How much is the subscription to truefix.
Thanks for watching! The one year subscription is $299 👍
when do coupons usually come about ?
Thank you for watching and subscribing to Fresh Vintage Garage we do appreciate it! I'm not actually sure if you can use coupons on these?
@@FreshVintageGarageI was actually able to use a 15% any item coupon on my T8. I believe the restriction was that it had to be in-store, which they still allowed even though it was pre-stock at that time
When is the T10 available. I’m a tech that’s been waiting for the T10 lol
I think it just came out today. Iv been waiting too. I got the t8 and I think I’m trading it in today for the t10.
@@eztrash4903 I keep refreshing the website and still see nothing
It’s launching this afternoon 👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 😎
@@FreshVintageGarage Awesome. Always love your videos. Keep up the good work. I tried to be one of the testers. I’m a lead tech in an independent shop where everyone has a different brand scanner so great for comparisons. Plus I’m poor so I was hoping to get my hands on one cheap lol. 20 years in the military didn’t pay well sadly.
These are both just Launch software based scan tools. There are better scan tools for the money out there.
what scan tools are better i need one
"The T8 is a lot cheaper than the T10...." Ok. Like what are the prices? Is Harbour Freight paying you to keep a secret, or do you just not want an informed audience?
Hey thanks for watching 👍
We do not put pricing in our videos as it fluctuates; if you want feel free to click on the description of our video, scroll down and then click on the Harbor Freight link for the ICON scan tool section of their website thanks.
T8 is like $900 t1@ I think it $1,650
Nothing useful in this video. Talked about everything except what they both really do. Just scratch the surface.
Thanks for watching! But you clearly didn't watch either of our in-depth videos on both the ICON T10 and T8 (we also have a video on the ICON T7 as well) so be sure to check them out 👍👍
Too solw. ...
Solw? You mean slow right? What's too slow?
its a lanuch that sucks
What is a lanuch? Have not heard of that before 🤔

what is better for less i need scan tool
You are right there are plenty of other scan tools out there for less than $899; in fact we have several on our channel to check out 😊
