A Professional auto mechanic reviews a scan tool that is very capable and very comparable with the OEM scan tools but it’s a budget one that typically is a lot more expensive for it’s capabilities.
In this video we’ll take a look at the XTOOL D7 scan tool. Most people would look at this scan tool on amazon and think boy here’s another generic looking scan tool that can’t do much and cost a fortune. This is where we’re wrong. This is a very impressive scan tool feature wise I think it super justifies It’s price as it can pay for itself with a couple of uses saving you having to pay a shop to use their expensive scan tool.

I said this in the video but in case you’re reading here READ THIS!
If you are not a DIY mechanic or don’t want to really dig into heavy diagnosis, Then this scan tool is overkill. Stick with blue driver or Carista and you’ll be good. If you do your own repairs but find yourself always going to a shop because the simple scanner you got is incapable then this is a good option for you.
This scan tool is not cheap, but for what it’s capable of doing it is a very good value.

Can it update the on board computer and not just read it?
Great video, very informative. Will this work with a 2013 Volvo s60 t5?
Liked the scan tool capabilities and I was really impressed with the key programming . I had the but the Autel loaded and ready to fire but then you covered that as well . So all and all it’s a hell of a scan tool with bidirectional capabilities as well . Having said that , I have one concern . I’ve used scan tools since the tech 1 the DRB and star scan as well as the Carmen . My question is how’s the support ? When things don’t go well , is the support going to be there ?

Good because I have been looking for a new scan tool
Is this good for American cars to?or just Toyotas?
Wow that is a great price I think
I paid 6 grand for my snap on scanner and the updates are 1000 to 2000 dollars each. Great video
Amazing price. Thanks for the tip.
My lucky day. First time I’ve seen your channel. 7 minutes in I’ve subscribed. I have two $100 and one $180 dollar scanners. A month ago Scotty was raving about a $5400 scanner and I was seriously considering purchase. Thankfully I didn’t. Your communication, demeanor, production quality, vocational experience and status drew me in and the scanner review hooked me. I’m sold. I’m gonna buy. Thanks so mush. ( I’m a do it yourself- er.
