The pass thru assistant is not like pictured, that is a pass thru pro . For real techs not the one that hooks up and some other company does it for you
Impact Gun
Dewalt
- James Kuhns, Owner/Technician at Auto Tech Solutions
Got this mid-torque awhile ago, and thought I'd let u guys know how I like it. I've used it mainly on brakes and lug nuts and its been really impressive. There hasn't been any brake caliper bolt it hasn't backed out yet, which is saying alot. When I used it on axle nuts and frozen suspension parts it blown me away for being a mid-torque. It has 3 speeds besides a bolt removal mode which I find handy at times. The torque ratings are 600 forward an

Impact Wrench
Dewalt
- James Kuhns, Owner/Technician at Auto Tech Solutions
Had this DCF900 for awhile now and thought I'd let u guys know how I like it. This is the first impact that has left me speechless and live in the rust belt. So far it hasn't failed to remove anything I've put to. Even semi lugs aren't much of a struggle. The speed that breaks a frozen wheel stud is astounding. Very solid gun and built to last. Used daily on auto wheels and axle nuts. The speed is nice too at 2300 rpm. It has 3 speeds besides a b

Maxisys Elite
Autel
- David J Lang, Shop Foreman/Technician at Midas
I wanted to share my experience with Autel diagnostic tools, and the elite in particular. I bought one for myself at $4000 because it's so dang awesome. 100% support for all global brands, and nearly complete special function support, far more than the snap-on Zeus can do. The interface is very intuitive, accessing modules and functions is a breeze. Available accessories like a 4 channel oscilloscope and boroscope significantly reduce the cost of

MaxiBAS BT608
Autel
- Anthony Ivankovich, Technician at Anthony Ivankovich
I've had the BT608 for a little under two years -as well as the additional accessories. It is used on all services -about a few hundred vehicles so far. Fantastic tool -when it works. I've had intermittent problems with the software and the tool automatically shutting down while printing. It was sent back for repairs once, but they found nothing wrong. The printer then started printing a line of gibberish that their tech line could not figure out

MaxiBAS BT608
Autel
- Robert Smith, Technician at Sun-Mark Automotive
I too have one of these, I how ever am not as pleased with it. To start with, you Must buy the add on for additional $$$$$ in order to do a complete battery/charging system test. Now with this purchase you will NOW get the ability to do a Draw Test. You will also get more thigs to Store and to Break.
Cut-Off Tool
Dewalt
- James Kuhns, Owner/Technician at Auto Tech Solutions
This 20v 3in. cutoff tool is quite a nifty tool. It's one of those things you don't realize you need till you get one. This one wont win a torque test with a standard 4 1/2in. grinder, but it will outperform any 12v (speaking from experience). The direction switch is priceless as you can direct sparks away from yourself. I use it mainly on exhaust, esp. clamps and sway bar links (like cutting the rusty end of a bolt off for easier removal). The L

MaxiBAS BT608
Autel
- Bryan Brickson, Owner at Kent Auto Repair
MaxiBAS BT608 | Autel I bought this a few months ago because my battery/ alternator tester had an occasional glitch that it would shut off before completing the test. The techs don’t use it much but experience with it is very good. It has many capabilities and features that you wouldn’t expect and I will probably not list everything.

TPMS5
Snap-on
- Thomas Ping, Owner at Ping's Automotive Srv.
We have had the same experience Michael Robinson has with this tool. Snap On replaced it once, updates, resets ect. Absolute worst tool I've purchased from Snap on in 40 years. They will also tell you no one else has problems.
