Hello everyone

Hey my fellow mechanics!
just wanted to introduce myself, and say hello to my fellow NON-BACKYARD mechanics lol
My name is Chris, I've been an automotive tech for just over 13 years now, I am ASE Master Tech certified, originally I went to school for microelectronics engineering and computer software development, however cars was my passion since I was just a boy, 
So I'm always digging deeper and getting more technical, I have been a member here for a quite a while but I only creeped the forums.

I just wanted to get some scanner comparison info from you guys which I'll ask on the appropriate section but for the time being I wanted to introduce myself.
I have allot of experience in ecm programming and when I say ecm I mean electronic control module not just engine control module lol, 

Most of my tools for that are allot of Chinese clones as I'm a father of 3 kids and my wife is a teacher's aid at a school and doesn't make much so I try my best to spend and buy the real tools but I'm sure you all know it isn't that simple.

As far as my scan/programming tools consist of:
Snap on Apollo d9

Snap on Zeus (1st Gen)

Autel maxiSYS ultra EV
with borescope(which I never use because I have a better camera I got from Amazon with 2 cameras on it, one pointing straight down and one pointing diagonal up I'll link it) and autel Bluetooth battery tester

Autel maxi-Im km100
​​​​​​
Autel maxi-im608S II pro with G-Box3

Autel TPMS TBE200 tread tool

Autel tpms508wf

Now for the Chinese stuff

Godiag GT100+ breakout box 

Godiag GPTboot addon

Carprog 13.77

Iprog+

VXDiag SE all brands 

Kessv2+Ktag 

Xprog

Scanmatil SM2pro j2534 programmer

​​​​​​CG100-iii programmer/airbag reset tool

XGEcu eeprom programmer 

Canalyst-II canbus analyzing tool

And a ton of software some genuine some not but do the job, 
​​​​
I know that's not everything I'm missing some stuff, but that's the gist of it, I have a full soldering rework station at my shop, as well as an HDMI microscope for those soldering and chip swapping needs. 

​​​​​​But anyway hi guys and nice to be here hopefully we can help https://ibb.co/Q6nMt03each other out with information  

Here's a pic of some of the stuff I listed

Daxiongmao Two-Way Articulating... www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3TZD2S4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This is the one I got from Amazon. Only one lens, but the articulating head is a really nice feature. I can put it in a cylinder and look back up at the valves
