Snap-on MT2500 Scan Tool — Being able to access and communicate to onboard vehicle control systems is critical to effect emission and control system repairs. The Snap-on scan tool is a great general scan tool that allows us to fix today’s cars.

Very user friendly, highly accurate lab scope for zeroing in and verifying electrical problems, especially on ignition systems and sensors for fuel and emission controls.
