Great video👍🏼 Quick question, does the Thinkcar PD-8 have a stand to prop itself up in the back like some of the similar diagnostic tools that Autel and Xtools produce so you don’t have to hold it to use it and not prop it up against something?

How many different brand of vehicles do you have? If you are getting this for a shop than you would want to buy a pro grade tool that has everything unlocked but only for two years or so. Then you would pay a service fee for the software.

Hey Randomfix! Just inquiring in terms of features/functionality Thinktool PD8 VS Xtool D8BT? yes i know the pd8 comes with a bunch of extra connectors and offer 2 year updates vs the 3 years free updates from Xtool D8BT.. they both offer alot of the same functionality so wondering which one is the better buy here? thanks and cheers from Canada :)

Life time update are included but does not apply to the bi directional function. Before you buy I recommend getting in writing from the vendor. Buy from Amazon with the proof incase there is ever an issue.

Does the Standard PD 8 have Bluetooth or do you need the PD8BT? Also your video stated, '"Lifetime Updates" is that free updates for lifetime your video was a little confusing..... is it 2 years before paid or what? I don't know where you got LIfetime updates.... the PD8 charges $99 after the free 2 years.........
