Lots of Power in a Small Package, the XTOOL D5S Scan Tool Review

[@falconerx]

I have been shopping all weekend for an entry level scan tool like this. I have shopped all the major brands. This looks great for the price point.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

It is a super capable tool for what it costs for sure!

[@gregreitan3634]

Put your head down jimmy and keep rowing your boat. Love your videos.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you Greg!

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

Just had a check engine light come on my wife’s 2018 Jeep with only 60k miles. I just ordered a cheap reader yesterday. Maybe I’ll get a better one after seeing this. Thanks Jimmy

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

My guess is P0456, lmk. :)

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

@ I checked the cap but that’s what I was hoping for. . I’ll let you know 🤔

[@larrywycoff1979]

Would love this for my mobile service gig. Something small and handy like this would be great.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Ok thanks Larry!

[@tedwilliams8766]

a kittle scanner like this would be perfect for the amount of vehicles i work on. thank jimmy.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Ok thanks Ted!

[@carmo9693]

Love it, I would like it as well. Got those old obd2 scanner, love helping retired people, keep in the glove box for that purpose, they are always so appreciative, esp when you are doing it for free or at a low cost they can afford..

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Right on, you’re in!

[@MarzNet256]

Nice. I've been using the Xtool A30M for a few years. It has helped me get my 2006 Matrix 4WD to 226k miles and it is still running perfectly. However, the unit you show seems faster.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

It works pretty well for it's price range and size, I was impressed with it!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

I have been researching scan tools, and you posted this review 👍👍 I have also been reviewing the ones on your Amazon store. I am interested in this scan tool and would love one. Thanks for another great review, Jimmy.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Cool, thanks for the support Scott! Scan tools are one of those things that are priced all over the place. So it’s mostly about the budget and staying with known brands for the best results I think. I am looking at an Ancel Scan tool next.

[@victorhoyt4352]

Definitely interested in the scan too. I see they finally added the voltage display on the screen at all times now. I'm had they finally did because it's been a huge thing that people kept mentioning. It also appears to have finally have FCA AutoAuth added to it as well, which has been another highly requested add on to the xtool, I've used xtools over the years and they are great scan tools. Especially for the money. They are very powerful and do things that m others won't do. You get a loootttt of bang for your buck when buying xtool. I think they are extremely underrated. Very very capable and very powerful scan tool!! Im glad they finally got on board with the FCA AutoAuth and the voltage display on the screen.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Very true! Thanks Victor!

[@chipoppenlander6467]

Much better than my FIXD

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

It is a great little tool for the money!

[@mlieser1230]

Looks to be a capable scan tool. I wouldn't mind having one.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks M! Been a neat tool for the price so far for sure!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Awesome review and a great tool for the tool box!

Funny, I can't always tune in....I'm supposed to be at work. That said, it seems like you are getting tons of work done...day after day after day. I'm still fishing around in the dark for a matching sock and by that time you've redone somebody's suspension . Cool scanner.

It is a notch above code reader, but yeah an entry level scan tool. :)

[@Scottbackyardfixes]

Nice video thanks for sharing 👍 I would love to get that x tool thanks again.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Good luck!

[@kathysexton4554]

thanks for the review Jimmy, always interested in winning!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Good luck! :)

[@Darkjedi99]

I have a launch x431 but the updates are expensive, I’m considering going with the D7W .

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, the updates seem a little pricey on all scan tools, so I usually get another instead since the processor and other internals will be new for just a little more money.

[@ToddLovell-zw7mc]

I would love to be entered to receive that scan tool. Please keep up the great videos. Because YOUR AWSOME !!!!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Good luck! YOU are awesome Todd! :)
