Local Snap On dealer has a used Solus Pro on his truck. Got it as a trade for the Solus Ultra. I can get it for around half the cost of a new one. It was updated a few months ago. It wont get used but maybe a few times a year but I find my self really wishing I had one or something similar for working on family and friends vehicles along with my own. Seems that without something like this it is hard to diagnose the newer vehicles. I believe it will make diagnostics a lot easier and less time consuming. Was told the updates were around a grand when needed. I may not update it but every few years just for the newer vehicles. Currently my 2011 f250 and 2013 Chevrolet 1/2 ton of the lady of the house are under warranty so Im not to worried about covering them at this time. I could always charge a small fee to people and make a few bucks back. I am a diesel mechanic by trade for a railroad but dont work on to many pickups or cars. Here lately I have found myself working on more of them. I can see having it paying off. The price doesn't scare me. Just the thought that the money could be used toward other things that will get used more often. Guess my question is does anybody use one as a do it yourselfer? Has it paid off having it as far as something that you may use every other month? Any other similiar products to look into? Because im not dead set on a Snap On. Thanks for any advice.
