looking to get a new scanner have been useing otc so thinking about the otc evolve , but also thinking about the snap on , or the autel, with lab scope .  think they are all within 500$ of each other,  product support is a big thing for me really leaning towards the otc because we use identifix for data and i think its kind of otc or snapon based .  wondering what some of you guys use

I use a GM tech2. But I don't work on anybody else's stuff and don't own one newer than 2014. I have 3 1995 gm products with OBD 1.5 and nothing else works on them.

I use an Autel, Snap on 'Zeus' (very over rated on a lot of things, $12K pretty) and Tech 2 for older GM. Use Alldata, Mitchell and Identifix for reference.

You can get one with it. I use the snapon for a lab scope. Has a PC moniter with the cabinet.
The Autel is fine, has given me bogus data a few times. That is why it is nice to have 2 scanners. Snap on has a hard time connecting to the vehicle at times. Doesn't have to be anything out of the ordinary either. They both have there give and take.
All around the Autel is the go to scanner for me.

The one I have says 'MaxiSys' on it.
I think we got it at Napa.
I know Cornwell has them but I haven't taken to him about it.
