As a professional mechanic with several years of experience, I have used a wide range of automotive diagnostic tools, and I must say that the Xtool D7 has been a pleasant surprise. I have been using it in my workshop for the past six months, and so far, it has exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality and performance. The Xtool D7 is extremely versatile. It has allowed me to perform comprehensive diagnostics on a variety of vehicles, from small cars to commercial vans. I can scan all the vehicle's electronic modules and obtain detailed information on error codes, real-time data, and active tests. This has been crucial for identifying hard-to-detect issues and ensuring accurate repairs. The Xtool D7's user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. The menus are clear and well-organized, making it quick to find the function I need without wasting time searching through complicated manuals. The high-resolution screen displays graphics and data clearly, making it easy to interpret information while working on the vehicle. One of the things I appreciate most is the Xtool D7's ability to perform special functions such as key programming and DPF regeneration. These functions have been helpful on numerous occasions and have allowed me to provide more comprehensive service to my clients. Additionally, software updates are frequent and easy to install, ensuring that the tool is always up-to-date with the latest automotive models and technologies. Investing in the Xtool D7 has been an excellent economic decision. not just is the best scan tool between 300-400 price but It has helped me improve the efficiency of my workshop by reducing diagnostic time and avoiding the need for expensive subcontracted services. Furthermore, Xtool's technical support has been excellent; they are always available to answer questions and provide assistance when needed. I would recommend the Xtool D7 to any automotive industry professional looking for a reliable and comprehensive diagnostic tool. Its combination of advanced functionality, ease of use, and continuous support makes it a valuable investment for any workshop or vehicle repair service.

Having owed and using Topdon, Ivonna, Xtool and an early bluetooth Android with dongle, I can say the D7s is a very capable scan tool for the price. I have used it on several GM, Ford, and an early model Chrysler, with no major problems. It's a quick scan tool with many features and capabilities depending on the vehicle manufacturer. I have found not one scanner will do everything, but so far the D7s has done everything that I have needed to do. On a couple older GM models I found that the D7s showed a couple more modules that my Topdon didn't. With free updates and no subscription fees this scan tool is budget friendly as well as good tech support and great customer service. (My personal experience). D7s is a good scan tool for small shop or a knowledgeable DIYer. Even without any trouble codes present you can check the overall health of your vehicle and correct or avoid future problems. If you just want to check codes and perform basic repairs I suggest looking at Xtool IP508 (about $150) or the AD20 pro (about $75) that you link to your Android or I phone. No I am not be paid or compensated for these suggestions. Overall I would purchase the D7s again and may purchase a D9 if my customer base grows larger. Launch, Autel, and Topdon make good scanners, but at my budget and needs I prefer my Xtool scan tool.

Good product at affordable price

works well and customer service responds quickly.

I found the Xtool D7S provides a lot of information and bi-directional capabilities. It has so far operated flawlessly, responds well, it feels well built, and i like the size of the unit. However, I did not find the scan tool to be very user friendly, as I find myself searching for some information through a maze of screens and under possible categories to discover whether data is supported or not, or trying to remember where to find it. Perhaps there's a large learning curve. For example, the scan tool will save my Acura RDX but won't save my Mazdaspeed3, which you have to re-enter the information again each time. I understand this is a universal scan tool and found out it does not support specific data for certain makes of vehicles, which can be a bit disappointing. Xtool has been responsive with my questions though, along with providing helpful answers which I appreciate. I am not sure if this level of customer service would be provided by other scan tool manufacturers. Xtool also has been providing endless updates, which is a proactive, good sign.

I love the XTOOL - D7 - Diagnostic Scan Tool. It is a scan tool and so much more. Read about this tool and you will see what it can do. It is bidirectional so the D7 and your vehicle can communicate both ways. This is a vital feature that puts it on par with much much more expensive scanners like the ones auto shops have. Well worth the cost. If you want clarification on what a particular code means, it allows you to access the internet through wifi and read detailed explanations, what parts you are likely to need and possible causes right from the tool without spending time on your phone or computer doing research. It can read live data while your vehicle is running which gives you the ability to not only check temps and pressures but to track down those irritating faults that come and go when your mechanic is not around. Saving tons of money by not having to guess what part is faulty and changing out good parts in hope that it will fix the problem is likely to pay for the scanner on your first use. It can also send a detailed report by email. This allows you to let your mechanic know the problem before you ever leave your house. It also let's you prevent anyone from padding the bill by replacing unnecessary parts. I had an issue with scanner and the XTOOL representative got me straightened out in no time. They explained what I was doing wrong and how to do it right. They were prompt and pleasant. I would not hesitate to do business with XTOOL again. This is how things used to be.

Pros: #1) customer support is very good from this company. I've contacted them and they were very quick to respond and address the issue through software updates. #2) Android interface is nice and allows to use the internal browser to view videos as needed. It is a bit clunky when compared to modern Android OS phones/tablets though. You may be better off using a computer for this. If you have no other choice, it is a welcome addition. #3) Bidirectional functionality is helpful (when it works) and is the main capability for this product. Most of the functionality works but is quite clunky. Compared to some other manufacturers, the implementation of these are lacking. Cons: #1) Functionality is spread all over the place and deep diving into menu selections to select the correct car is infuriating difficult at times. If you put in a VIN, it should automatically decode exactly what it is after you select the correct country. #2) I have a simple bluetooth device code reader (name hint: a color + someone who drives) for reading codes and the design interface is so much easier to find certain points of interest. For example, for a 2nd gen Nissan Versa, to find the cylinder misfire on my simple bluetooth device code reader is right on the first screen. Simple and easy to find. For this particular model, I need to deep dive into engine and special functions just to look at misfire information. Makes it a bit difficult when trying to diagnose the misfire on the main screen that adds in telemtered points to see it as a whole. #3) Battery dies rather quick on this unit. If I leave it in the case for a week powered off, it seems the battery dies off. Makes it a pain when you have to use it and a customer is waiting and finding out there is no battery. This is the 2nd unit that I have that does this. There is a fundamental design flaw in how the battery and the charging system works on this model. #4) At maximum brightness, with direct sunlight on the screen (yes I know this is not idea and most people will use in car or in a garage but it happens), it is pretty hard to see. #5) Most of the bidirectional functionality works but is quite clunky. Compared to some other computer utility manufacturers, the implementation of these are lacking in this particular unit. #6) A major flaw is the EVAP test for certain makes such as Honda. I lost a customer to being unable to run the EVAP test from the unit. Although, XTool customer service did send a beta software update to address this issue. A simple bluetooth reader can run this test flawlessly. So, even though this unit can do a whole lot of things, it fails to do simple functionality.

I’ve made money and saved money with this tool. Bang for the buck, I tell everyone about it. User friendly if you can follow on screen prompts. Great diagnostic tablet.
