5th Day of Construction Gifts: Actron PocketScan Plus diagnostic scan tool

Updated Dec 15, 2014

Actron PocketScan Plus

Scan tools and code readers keep going down in price and going up in features. If the mechanic on your gift list does not already have one, this recent model from Actron will be a welcome addition to their tool kit. Compatible with all vehicles from 1996 to the present, the device reads fault code (check engine light) information and defines each code, displays emissions systems status and freeze frame data, gives you repair information and read and erase hot keys. Being able to read and diagnose engine problems with tools like this can eliminate hours of troubleshooting or save you hundreds of dollars and keep your vehicle in tip top shape. You can grab one for $64 at Amazon (as of this writing).

And don’t forget, as part of our 12 Days of Construction Gifts guide, we’re giving away a Lego Technic Volvo L350F R/C wheel loader. Just enter your information below through December 23 for a chance to win!
