While I appreciate their tracking time to boot up, time to retrieve codes and so on, it's really meaningless to me as if I was in a shop making money (their comment time is money) I'd have a far better tool than anything reviewed.
So - my interest is more in "what can it DO, can it retrieve more than engine codes, and so on, not so much "how long to bootup.
Usability is well covered. IF you use it only on rare occasion, then figuring out the paths to get somewhere each time will be frustrating, but like anything else - if you use one of these frequently, you'll not even think "gee, it took a whopping 4 keystrokes to get there, that's horrible" because you'll be there and not even having given it a thought.
So i go back to - how useful is it? Can it actually get the codes - do I have to go to a phone or computer to look up what it means, and so on.
And thankfully, they did concentrate quite a bit on that, including any ability for live data and so on.
I had to agree - the 310 screen font size could be better - this guy would prefer a much larger font. But it's readable in the light I've used it in. I note it has a good score in direct sunlight - that's a problem with even phone screens - mine sucks and it's a Pixel 7. Don't even try to read it when outdoors.

Glad I was not drinking @Lunentucker when I seen that pic or it would have shot out my nose from laughing so hard.

God bless you!

There is a lot going on in this picture. I could sit and think about all the intricate parts and pieces all around the room. I'm trying to think about so many things at once. I think I will think about it some more.

My first thought on the video the narrators irritating high pitched voice.
I didn't make it past about 15 seconds but let it run while I was reading the rest of this thread.
The second was who did I recognize in that pic and which one is @ShadowsPapa.
Also Critically Thinking about how many multi-tasking things I could do in the 5 seconds it takes for the reader to connect.
Har.
