In this video I have a go at a car with the new Snap-On Triton D8 Scan tool. It uses a feature called intelligent diagnostics that help guide a mechanic through the diagnostic process. Being that this is my first time even looking at this loaner tool I can not make a fair assessment if I like it or not. Also as I mention in the video this is not a “review” video. It’s simply my playing with a loaner toy and you get to watch and see some of the features it has to offer. -Enjoy!

That scan tool looks like a pain in the ass to use. There’s no way I could use it! Having to click on a button to scroll through menu is exhausting!
They are 6k I like mine alot.
The more information you have the beter that tool has many forms of information that saves time .
Way overpriced and underpowered
I have a 1995 Oldsmobile 88 with obd2 connector what will that scanner read my engine light regular scanners won’t work and obd1 doesn’t hookup thanks.
Only eric o can keep me interested close to an hour in a tool i will never own or use🤪
as of March 2021 the MSRP is $5999.00
Just bought one of these, got the super deal bc the d10 is coming out now, and it’s just the modis with training wheels. I’m not complaining, but I was sort of expecting something a bit snazzier.
You review a scan tool the way most of us would. Turn it on, plug into the car, play with all the buttons, decide whether you like it or not, lol
The one nice thing about snap-on is that no matter what tool you use, it's all the same software. Makes using multiple versions of their tools easier. I have a p1000, and it doesn't even come close to the capabilities as this one does, but the software is the same. That's a nice tool. I've learned so much from your channel. The methodology you use to track an issue is spot on! Don't listen to the haters!!!! 🙂
Hey thanks for putting this together there big guy! Very informative and by far the most on depth one I have seen. Lot's of information on the tool that those looking to buy one should keep in mind IMHO!
Thanks Eric!
38:49 (said like the announcer on Sponge Bob) twenty-five minutes later
Cool review ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
You remind me of someone but I just cannot put my thumb on it. I'm gonna figure it out soon lol
Lol. Just poked around with one a few weeks ago. Still like my Autel best tho.
Looks like a decent tool but I wouldn’t want to constantly pay for the updates to keep the tool functional.
Bet the cam phasers on that scan tool will go out before just after the warranty.
I quit buying anything from Snappy about 4 years ago. I initially became unhappy when I found that I was charged 5x the price for the blue point wire stripper. This caused me to look at ALL the Snappy pricing. I now buy almost all my tools from the Mac truck.
Fairly thorough video Eric. It may get snap – on fans a bit upset though
can anyone recommend a scanner in the $300 price range where i could scan my 2007 Honda odyssey and read reset tpms and air bag ,vsa codes ?
Thanks Mr. O. for the indepth exposè. I'm a mere DIYer, in the market for a tool with bi-directional capabilities. While this Snap-on unit is out of my reach, your insights are of great value for expanding my knowledge into areas that would otherwise be inaccessible to me. When I make my decision on a tool I will at least have an understanding of a larger spectrum of capabilities. In other words, it's good to know what the professionals are using.
