An auto technician with 27 years of experience has revealed TopDon\u2019s Phoenix Lite 2 scanner and Phoenix4 channel scope as diagnostic tools that are cost-effective without sacrificing quality.<\/p>\n

Scanners retrieve diagnostic trouble codes, while scopes primarily analyze electrical signals within a vehicle.<\/p>\n

Buying these two tools to examine your car\u2019s troubles can easily cost upwards of $10,000 \u2014 but this TikTok mechanic, Sherwood of Royalty Auto Service, suggested the two TopDon-branded items since they cost $1,300 when using his clip\u2019s discount codes shown via overlay text.<\/p>\n

Sherwood\u2019s TikTok clip, filmed at his Georgia-based garage (@royaltyautoservice), starts with him demonstrating the scanner and scope within his Lexus sedan.<\/p>\n

He mentions the scope as having four channels instead of two, allowing users to run all test types within their vehicle vs. dealing with a limited diagnostic range.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next, he highlights how he believes the touch scanner\u2019s interface is user-friendly with its ability to adjust time frame rates and voltage scales using a few simple finger drags.<\/p>\n

After running some tests, Sherwood used his 27 years of auto industry experience to note that the scanner\u2019s readings of his Lexus were accurate.<\/p>\n

He added that the most significant differences between this professional-level scanner and a cheaper version are data processing speed and a higher-resolution display.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
