Title: Comprehensive Diagnostics from the Xtool D8S
Review: I bought this to support multiple vehicles in the family. One of the standout features of the Xtool D8S is its extensive vehicle coverage. It supports diagnostics for a wide range of makes and models, including both domestic and foreign vehicles. The tool can read and clear trouble codes from all major systems, such as the engine, transmission, ABS, and airbag systems.Another major reason I bought this tool is the availability to view modules in Topology view which can be very helpful in identifying and narrowing your focus in troubleshooting. This function is normally available in tools costing twice as much.the D8S has 38 special functions. One function I was intersted in was Key Programming and couldn't find it. I reached out to support and they responded within 24hrs and informed me that it is now located under the IMMO Reset special function. I was very happy to hear that and with the prompt response.Considering its features and capabilities, the Xtool D8S is competitively priced in the market. It offers excellent value for DIY home mechanics looking to invest in a reliable diagnostic tool without breaking the bank.Pros:- Wide vehicle coverage- Comprehensive diagnostic capabilities- User-friendly interface- Fast performance with live data- Competitive pricing-Three years of free updatesCons:- Not any that I can find so far.

Title: Xtool D8: A Tech's Dream
Review: The Xtool D8 is a reliable go-to tool at our shop. Its user-friendly interface makes navigating through various vehicle systems a breeze. The extensive coverage of vehicle makes and models, coupled with the availability of common special functions, has significantly streamlined our diagnostic and repair processes. The other techs are equally impressed with its performance and efficiency, we use this tool for all makes and models, we have other more well know scan tools at at the shop and the Xtool is the most requested tool when performing a diagnostic or repair.

Title: A capable scan tool, at a reasonable price, with excellent customer support
Review: I am not a professional mechanic, but consider myself a competent DIY mechanic. Iâve had this scan tool for about two weeks.There are many things I like about this tool, and very little to dislike.First, the user interface takes a bit of getting used to, but with practice it gets easier. FWIW, itâs based on an old version of the Android OS.I bought this primarily for troubleshooting a 1996 GMC Suburban that Iâm restoring, but also will use it for a 2008 Chevy HHR SS, a 2011 Ford Ranger pickup, and a 2021 Honda CRV.The GMC has limited functions available, as 1996 is the first year for OBD2. This is not a limitation of the scan tool so much as a limitation of the technology in that particular vehicle. But it does what I need it to do. For example, it allowed me to diagnose a transmission issue which had been giving me fits. The inexpensive scanner that I have was not able to read any codes. The D8 does. It also reads all of the engine functions, and many of the transmission functions, as described in the GM Service Manual (of which I have a copy).I also had the opportunity to compare the D8 with a Topdon ArtiDiag900 Lite. The Topdon has some nice features, including a more modern version of Android, and costs a bit less than the D8. It also supports the same functions on the GMC as the D8. However, when I tried it on the HHR, I found that it does not support several of the functions that the D8 does. For example, it does not have any TPMS functionality. The D8 does. I assume this will be the case with with the Ford Ranger and the Honda CRV also.The D8 hardware seems pretty solid. It has an 8â screen, unlike most of its direct competitors, as well as larger battery capacity.Sometimes I wish I had gone for the BT version, but the supplied OBD2 cord is long enough to allow setting the scanner on the passenger seat, if need be. I really like the kickstand on the back, which allows hanging it on top of the steering wheel. FWIW, the Topdonâs kickstand did not. This may sound like a minor thing, but in practice it actually makes a difference.I have to say that I am very pleased with XToolâs customer service and technical support. I exchanged emails with them prior to purchasing the D8, and have continued on a couple of occasions after I made the purchase. At one point I seriously considered returning it, as one of the key functions I wanted was not supported by the D8. As it turns out, that particular function isnât supported by the OEM scanner either. It simply wasnât available on that year of vehicle. But after using it and seeing what it could do, on the GMC and on the newer vehicles, the responsiveness of XTool to my queries, having done a hands-on comparison with the Topdon, and reading about other scan tools in this price range, I decided to keep the D8.I expect to get a lot of use out of this, and am glad to have it among my tools.

Review: Diagnostic tool: XTOOL D8 (wired)Test Vehicle: 2015 F150 Crew 4x4 3.5L Eco boostI bought my XTOOL D8 some time before this review, and that was so I could test it enough to do a proper review.I was not in a position to test it on any issues but was able to go through it enough to see how it will be better at diagnosing any issues then a basic OBD II code reader can ever do.For the longest time I him and hawed about which one to get and the XTOOL brand was always the one I came back too.The price and lack of information is what slowed my decision, finally got to that point that I felt I would need one soon and bought this XTOOL D8 on sale ($130.00CA off)These tools are hard to find exact information for the reason that so many vehicles and different configurations are out there.Though for the functions they should have a better break down and description detailing its full capabilities for that option. What it can do as well as cannot do with a particular function. The seller was quick to answers any questions though, info on hand would be better.The first time I used it (Operational Test) I was impressed â to see all the modules that my truck has.Becoming more familiar with the menus and recommend to anyone to first explore the tool menu and functions regular so when an issue does arise you spend less time trying to navigate â it is very detailed in what you can see with your vehicle.My only major issue was the OBD II adaptor and cord ⦠manufacture issue I assume, could not keep a continuous connection which is not good for live diagnostics. Support said this is an issue and that one piece cables are now used.The seller did replace this two piece setup with a one piece OBD II cable quickly and ZERO cost to me. This too will have its own review.I gave support a 4 because updates are not lifetime. I think for amount paid for the D8 it should be lifetime for at least DYI-ers.I would have liked more programing options or special functions at this price but probably why the higher models are more expensive.Over-all I am happy with my XTOOL D8, im sure it will pay for its self.RATING:Cost : 4/5Construction: 5/5Support: 4/5Function: 5/5Quality:5/5OVERALL: 4.6/5Replacment One piece OBD II Cable Link:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVRH9ZF7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
