I use several scan tools including snap on.I was thinking about buying a otc genisys evo.Does anyone think this is a better scan tool then a snap on?

That answer would be dependent upon which Snappy tool you are using. If you are using entry level Snappy tool, the Genesis will be better. If you are using the higher end Snappy, the Genesis will disappoint you.

Although the OTC will do much more on a GM product, I would prefer using the snap on any time. The menu system in the OTC is pretty slow.

I guess it depends on how much you want to spend. I've noticed OTC is usally cheaper that SO especially on updates. I haven't used OTC too much but both OTC & SO have gaps in coverage. The advantage the Modis or Verus has over OTC is a 4 channel DSO compared to OTCs 2 channel.

If you are going to go with OTC it seems like a Pegisys might be a better bet, unless you are getting a real good deal on the Genisys. I got to use a Pegisys a little bit ago for just a little bit. I did like it's touch screen better than the Verus. Plus I noticed you got Euro & med truck as part of the package.

If you decide on SO I would stay away from the Verus right now. I think they released it to soon. Our shop got one a few weeks back & I still have got use to it yet. It's a nice unit but I've noticed when things get fast I still grab my Modis 1st......

I will have to admitt the Pegisys did impress me. I would like to demo one for a week... The one thing I'm leary about is the 2 channel scope. Most of time it's fine but there are a few times where you need that 3rd & 4th channel.....
