For a budget scan tool it's hard to go past Foxwell but I doubt on a budget you'll be totally happy with any. Our scantool was $6500 and still has some issues.

I would also ask why you need a scantool. The only vehicle I can think needs one is some Rangers to reset the lowbeam. Resetting codes doesnt repair the fault and cheap scan
tools wont tell you what the fault is. It will just give you the code which you then need Google to try and figure it out.
