Quick, Accurate, and Easy to use
What a quick and easy scanner to grab and go get that data. Instead of grabbing the big scanner that takes awhile to boot up, I was able to get on the road and get O2 Sensor data in seconds and graph it out to see how the Catalytic Convertor was functioning. Easy to read screen which is important for me. Topdon has made a quality product here that is usually my first grab for a quick diagnosis in a small easy to hold handheld tool. It reads mode 6 data and can do a few special tests on most supported vehicles. The scanner also comes with another plug in cord to check batteries. This is so handy. Got to check those batteries every time a vehicle comes in. Don't want our customer to get stuck needing a jump. I compared the battery tester to a Midtronics and had identical results. Printing function could be easier to use with more Printer drivers. Memory in unit will provide a lookup even after the tool is disconnected. Forgot your code? It is stored in memory in this tool. I have made this my quick and easy go to for quick diagnosis. I will update again after a few months of use.

Great product super useful for DIY and even in a shop environment
It is a handheld code reader it has graphing for up to 2 pics. It is fast, it is easy to use. The fact that it can test a charging system too is awesome. I have tested a few at the shop I run and it is as accurate as the other equipment I use. It has become the first one to pickup for ease of use.

TO GET THIS TOPDON LOAD TESTER AND OBD SCANNER FOR UNDER $100 IS UNBELIEVABLE! GREAT INVESTMENT
This this is AWESOME! Battery load tester does it all plus you can send results to a printer for your customers. Test battery, charging, and starting systems. The OBD SCANNER is very handy! Compact but very capable. Even has a trouble code lookup so no more pulling out the phone to look up codes! For price, size, and capabilities I give this a 9/10. (Only think that could make it better is a built in printer.) GREAT INVESTMENT!

Great tool for diy auto repairs.
This OBDII scanner and battery tester works exactly as it should. It's simple enough to give you the information you need and advanced enough to keep from going to the shop or stealership. It's not overly complicated and doesn't require my phone or an Internet connection to tell me what I need to know.

Solidly made, works good overall!
Physically, this tool is well made, though it's made of plastic it feels well build. The buttons are very tactile and easy to operate when wearing gloves. The Artilink500b works well as a basic OBD2 code scanner and monitor as well as a self contained battery load tester. Impressively, the tool even comes with a case and decent looking PC software for performing firmware updates and 'printing' the data. The display of the tool is very bright & has a dedicated LED light to show you both detailed information and a pass/borderline/fail indication. I have 4 complaints though: 1) Their is no way to name saved data, the tool simply assigns each test a numerical value counting up from 1. As such trying to keep track of test results is not easy. 2) Like many people, I feel the leads for the car battery tester are too short and do not meet the advertised claims. 3) The tool does not have a battery and as such requires you to power it from an external source anytime you want to access the data that's on it. for instance: say you test a car battery and forgot to note down the result, you then have to either plug the tool into a car and turn the car on, plug a usb source into the tool, or re-connect the tool to the battery. For ~$87.00 I feel including a battery to power the tool should be standard. 4) The tool does not support basic service tasks. For instance this tool can't do a BMS or oil reset, it can only read/clear codes and data from the car. As code scanners with this capacity are around ~$100 I would expect the capability to be present in this tool. So the long and short of it is: This is a great tool for if you need to do occasional OBD2 code scanning and if you want to be able to test your own car battery & charging system because your car can't conveniently break down only at shops.
