Must have for shadetree DIYers.
I've only used it once so far.... I plugged it in to my 2015 Colorado LT 3.6 liter V6 to read a CE code and it quickly came back with a code. A quick tap of the link on screen brought me to a web page describing in detail the source of the code and how to troubleshoot and repair it. So much more thorough and advanced than the old days where you just get a code, flip to the back of your repair manual, find the code, and buy a part hoping to fix it. Clearing the code was easy. Storing the code for future reference was easy. Customizing the Torque Pro app to fit my needs was super simple.
Based off of this one time use, I would buy one for all of my family and friends as gifts. If you like to do your own vehicle maintenance or would like to have the ability to troubleshoot before making a potentially very expensive trip to a mechanic so you can be prepared and arm yourself against being taken advantage of by an unscrupulous business, this $21 tool, and it is a tool, is worth its weight in gold. We all know someone who has been lied to and overcharged for unnecessary work.
