harbor freight scanner

Has anyone used or bought this for our obs? Will it work well before I buy and also the compression tester for diesel engines.

My HF scanner works fine for the car. But none of the off-the-shelf units will read the OBS. You need an AE Scangauge, AutoEnginuity software, or an old Snap-On MT2500 red brick with the right personality chips.
