$16k with 3 years of updates ? Wheel, from what I hear you won't like it. Punch in the code and it configures the data list with the parameters relevant to that code. Just rumors.

Maybe put it under lock and key under museum glass on the docking station and have an external keyboard and all techs have little Snappy drone scanners that communicate with the Mother Ship kept under glass and communicate with it it by blue tooth.Comment

Zeus
3 years of updates, 3year warranty. Price that and see what its worth, my edge was a little over two years old, I kept it in good shape, it had 17.2 so I got a good trade in, probably more than I could have sold it for. My edge made me money and more than paid for itself, I expect the Zeus to do the same.Comment

What I don't like is the trend of internet dependency for daily scanning chores. There's just too many cases where the internet just ain't there - either due to locality or equipment failures or other reasons. It's more common at least in some areas than one thinks.
I just don't like being put into a situation where everything grinds to a screeching halt because my internet for whatever reason flakes out or is otherwise unavailable. From what I have heard I may not like the Zeus. I think Snapon would do well to put helpful advantages on a tool in a form as internet independent as possible.
I think I may get my chance to look at one soon.You can expect the reputation of your business to be no better than the cheapest item or service you are willing to sell. - WheelComment

My SO rep explained it as a option for 3 years updates and extra year warranty. Without the updates, he said price is comparable to Verus. The internet is only needed for the guided tests and to access Suretrack. When you tap code repair button, it automatically shows tests, and only pids that are relevant. then goes to next step when needed. Personally, I don't think I would be interested in new Zues. Still Windows 7, updates are the same as we already do, I wouldn't be gaining anything.Comment

That part about the codes might not be so bad.

I think Snappy should just give you the capability to attach a 1TB USB external hard drive to the entire Snap on Edge line up and download the the entire Sure Trak Trouble shooter data base onto the external hard drive, so you don't have to be dependent on the internet at all or having a current update, to access the troubleshooter that once was built into the software cartridges that never timed out.You never know when and where you'll have to repair something.You can expect the reputation of your business to be no better than the cheapest item or service you are willing to sell. - WheelComment

The 3 years of updates actually sounds like a good deal - if one can afford it.You can expect the reputation of your business to be no better than the cheapest item or service you are willing to sell. - WheelComment

I don't understand why these guided tests can't be incorporated into the tool's onboard software. They should work on it.

As far as the Edge price , it lists for close to $10K and it comes with a year of updates that I think it would. Now if the Zuess lists close to $16K you get 3 years (an extra 2 years of updates) for that extra 6K. How does 2 extra years of updates worth 6k ?I thought a year of updates for Verus cost $1250, maybe that's list price for every 6mo update period bought separately, but even then $1250 x 4 updates in 2 years only equates to $5K (when you actually need the newer car coverage) Are they including 3 years of Shop Key or Mitchell access in that price, then it wouldn't be a bad deal.Comment
