I'm new to scopes. the only one i have used is an old heathkit of my Dads. suggestions on an affordable but useable scope. I'm work as a body repair tech but also a mechanic for years. saw scopes used on u tube and thought wow I need one. Looking at autel and hantek.

Any scope you use is better than one you don't.
Any Pico automotive scope (used) would be a suitable entry into the world of wiggly lines.
Any of the SnapOn scopes - vantage pro etc
U-scope from AESwave
Hantek, Autel etc.
Buy the best you can for your budget and welcome to our world

Hi and thank you,
I use autel scanner, checked directly with them. I was told that the maxiscope will not do parade secondary. If anyone knows different i would like to hear about that. Probably going with hantek. And looking at an inductive lead from asewave for an add on. Possibility a cop wand as well to check cylinder by cylinder on that layout.
The more i study scopes the more i want one. Im not using it flat rate but would quit chasing my tail on some repairs.

It is an addictive world to get into. I own/run a repair shop and purchased a uscope as a beginner. It is awesome, I love how fast it turns on and you're ready to scope. Saving dollars for a pico now as it is so much fun.
