Actron CP9125 Excellent Pocket Scanner for 'Shade tree mechanic' basic knowledge.

Actron CP9125 Excellent Pocket Scanner for 'Shade tree mechanic' basic knowledge.
As advertised, reasonably priced, shipped quickly, easy to use. Helpful in understanding what 'could' be wrong with your vehicle, especially considering the complicated computerized numeric and alpha numeric messages used in todays sophisticated automobiles.

Actron CP9125 Works great.
 I purchased this to read codes on my 2004 GMC Yukon XL. Was able to quickly pull codes and determine the cause of my check engine light. In today's computer-controlled world, this product is great for letting you know if that trouble light is a serious problem or a small nuisance.

This recently saved me cancelling a planned vacation as I was able to pull the code and determine that the problem was a minor one that wouldn't prevent us from continuing on our trip. It is also great for keeping the mechanics honest. If you already know what codes are in the computer you'll also know if they try to pull a fast one on you and sell you repairs you don't need!!

If you're a pro, you probably aren't reading this review anyway, but this may not be the product for you. But if you are a shade-tree mechanic, or even if you don't know how to turn a wrench, this is a great value for a product that will give you the information you need.
