Multi-tasking has become a lot easier with Snap-on’s new D-TAC ELITE (EECS306C) diagnostic station. Service technicians can diagnose multiple problems with this device, which includes a diagnostic charger, battery, starting and charging system tester, engine starter, Digital Multi-meter (DMM), cable voltage drop tester and flash-reprogram device.

“The D-TAC Elite diagnostic station is a versatile machine that uses the most innovative and decisive methods to complete electrical work efficiently. The shop owner can give the customer a read-out of the vehicle test results and store service data,” said David Brekke, category manager for Snap-on. “This new system is durable and made of composite material that will not scratch a vehicle. It also provides visual and voice prompts in six languages that will guide technicians through the diagnostic process including English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and German.”
