ANCEL AD530 Automotive Scan Tool. This thing is way better than It should be!

As A mechanic, I've come to realize that most tools are tools you buy once and own forever, but there are certain tools that wear out, or just age out.
Scan tools fall into that category. I own 3 scan tools. A entry level code reader, a mid level all system scanner, and a pro level bi-directional scan tool.
As it turns out, all 3 are about finished. They were all purchased back in 2008, and even with updates, they have simply run out of support.
This tool, The Ancel AD530 was supposed to replace my "Code reader" and it does an incredible job of doing that and much more. I'm blown away by all the things this little tool packs in, and especially how fast the live data refresh times are. It's less than $80 bucks and that's about $250 less than I paid for it;s 2008 predecessor!
Here is a link to where I got it for those that are interested.
www.amazon.com/dp/B07N66TTQG
I've also ordered a replacement for my mid level scanner as well, so stay tuned for a video (or 2 on that) and later this year I expect to finally retire my OTC Genisys so I figure I'll be making a video on it's replacement as well!

I've always had vehicles from the 80s and early 90s but I decided to get something newer. This is a lot easier than counting check engine light flashes, looking up what the code means in the manual, and then being more confused than when you started.

Yeah, very impressed with it. I later got an Autel MD806, which is about 3x the cost, to go deeper into the ECUs and systems. While the Autel could read more and see more stored codes, I was surprised that it _couldn't_ do the battery and alternator tests and didn't seem to have as good (and responsive) a graphing ability as the AD530. For the money, it really is a heck of an impressive scanner and well worth getting for anyone/everyone to be able to get an idea of what's going on with their vehicle.
