Are cheap ODB2 scanners like this worth a damn for a driveway mechanic?

For that money, you're much better off with a bluetooth one and a good app on your phone.

I guess that would do for just reading basic codes in a pinch, but you would be better off with something that will at least read abs/srs they start out in the $125-130 range
or if you have a laptop or tablet pickup a vxdiag nano and it will do most of the dealer level scanning thru tech2win, next step up would be a clone tech2 those run about $350

Efilive can do anything a tech2 can do and flash your tune if you choose.

Can it run a brake bleed procedure?

 

[Mechanic421]

For engine/transmission

 

[Mechanic421]

Brake bleed 25 mph slam brakes in grass has worked for years. No tool needed.

OK......not even close to doing what the tech2 can do.
