best scanner?

Hey, I have received two scanners for Christmas and i need help deciding which one to keep or return them both and get something different. Or I could keep them both.

1. OBNII, CAN & ABS tool by Actron.
2. OBDII/EOBD Scanner by Cen-Teck.

What is the difference between the two?

I have never owned a scanner and want to get the best tool, thanks for the advice.

Slim

If the Cen-Teck doesn't read ABS go with the Actron.

I would go with the Actron, just through personal experience..... but you should do some testing. Any model numbers?

Use them both back to back, the easiest one to use should be the one you keep......
