Recommendation for a cheap ODB II Code Reader

Greetings,

I would like to be able to read and reset the codes from a 1996 Ford F-150 4x4 302 w/ ODB II (standard DLC connector under the dash)

Any recommendations for a good, cheap, simple code reader? All I really need is the ability to read and reset codes.. Nothing fancy or expensive.

I've found lots of products.. that cost tons of cash and have every feature... but I really dont need all that.

TIA!
-Meridian

I have not found any for less than $150. That's what I paid for mine at Autozone. It reads and resets only.

Here is one I found for $50 but I'm not sure if it lets you clear codes or only read them.
