- This tool has been good to me. I have upgraded and would like to give it to someone who is new and coming up in the field either as a DIY or Independent. Or even dealership tech. I want this person to get started the right way and use the tool. Take pride in what you do.
#newtoyou #giveaway #matcotools
Just to add as a master tech that is actually a good little scanner on my list of stuff to get…whoever wins that thing will be awesome from beginner to advanced good luck fellas and thanks BFT
This scanner has been great. It works just as good as those $3,000 ones and dealership ones. Maybe you can help me pick a winner
Gotta say again this is awesome of you. I'm a Ford Sr. Master and fairly new to your channel. It's so great to see people out there like you willing to help out new techs. I've been in automotive for 18 yrs now, only 6 with Ford, and I dont know how many tools I've personally given away as I have upgraded through the years. When I first started out, my mentors gave me so many tools, and it's so awesome to see the tradition continuing.
Yeah I was master at the dealer. Just shy of senior master. My mentors helped me as well. So why not help someone else who is trying. It doesn't have to be cut throat. If everyone would just help everyone things would be great. I know masters and senior masters who won't help. And I'm like well someone taught you. Why not teach someone else. Or maybe that someone else can teach you something too. Goes both ways.
@BeardedFordTech 100% agree with you. Im lucky enough to be at a dealer where all the techs lean on each other and willing to give a helping hand. Well most of the time, lol.
@@deangoodin6304 the last dealer I was at was like that "most of the time" as well. There was days that things were horrible. Previous dealer was not very helping except for one senior master. And I still talk to him and he moved to another state.
What??? Free??? Man thats awesome BFT shoot ive been contemplating getting 1 myself so i dont have to lug around my laptop for for my consult whenever i need to do some diagnosing outside the shop...i was 🤏 closeto getting 1 before the winter came about and my shop slowed wayyy down...not only that...i couldnt find a good video cover its operations but i think u nailed it brother!!! Great video and goodluck to all participants!!!! Game on 😈😈
It's a good tool and it works really well. Does a lot of features. Paid for itself like a month after I bought it.
@@BeardedFordTech that fast huh?? Thats whats up bro, did u end up upgrading?
Oh yeah I upgraded
Awesome gift for the newbie. I wish more yt techs would do this, even giving a used one.
This one is used. But I took care of it. Paid some good money for it and it wouldn't allow me to do my job if it was broken or not taken care of. But I figured since I Upgraded and have the other ford software then an up and coming tech or a mobile guy can use it to help ease their job a little. Sucks when you need an expensive tool and can't get one. Most of those other techs don't really care. Me ford boss rainman A-Rod. We do care and we want to see people succeed
@@BeardedFordTech you keep tools like me, clean and ready to go.
@@Dirtyharry70585 most of the time. During the week I get slammed. But Fridays o clean everything. Or if I have some down time.
Nice scan tool. I'm looking forward to seeing who wins. Very generous giveaway. 😊🐶
There's a lot of people who can benefit from this tool
that would be good for me as a starter enthusiastic car mechanic, I would not mind being pick for this prize, thank you. great give away who ever received this Fab item, cheers Hans.
This giveaway has ended. There will be another one coming soon. Stay tuned.
Hey Brother! I'm a mobile Mechanic and fellow youtuber, I'm trying to get away from my ALLDATA tablet, this would absolutely help me continue my Mechanic career and get out from under them! Thank you for doing this and not letting something like that just collect dust!
Ahh mobile mechanic! This would definitely help you out.
@Bearded Ford Tech absolutely it would! Full transparency: My business is my side project, I am full time Soldier in the Ohio Guard in Northeast Ohio, it's my side gig, but I LOVE IT!
@@goodmorningmechanic thank you for your service. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It's my honor! Thanks for subscribing!!! Let me know if you have any advice or guidance for my videos! Thank you Brother!
@@goodmorningmechanic I'll go check em out while I'm waiting for this video I did today gets done exporting
That's a great gesture on your part Anthony. That will save a young tech who is starting out a few bucks. From what I have seen from tool truck flyers posted on TH-cam the tool truck prices have increased significantly. Most of my diagnostic tools were purchased from my Matco dealer. Matco at that time was less expensive than Snap On. This was in the days prior to OBD1 so all you needed for electrical diagnostics were a multimeter, test light and wiring diagrams.
They all have gone up. I'm not a snap on fan but I have a few snap on screwdrivers. Or some stuff other techs have given. I love matco tools. Heck back then you needed a paper clip too so you could make a jumper 😉
@@BeardedFordTech I forgot about the paper clip not to mention the relay jumper wire to connect terminals 30 and 87. 🙂
@@mlieser1230 I still do that. Lol
@@BeardedFordTech I used to keep a jumper wire in the glove box along with a spare 9004 bulb and quarters in the ashtray for the payphone. We didn't need all these modern devices the guy need nowadays. 🤣🤣
What an awesome giveaway! Thanks for thinking of those who may not be able to afford it! I love your content and appreciate all the time spent behind the scenes which some of us may not realize!
Your very welcome. There is a lot of behind the scenes. I would love for someone who can't afford it to have it. They can use it to make money. Then maybe one day upgrade and continue passing it on to someone else in need.
Great little scanner. I have got a lot of useful tips from you, boss, Arod and the rest of the gang. Great people doing great work
Much appreciated 👍👊
This tool would definitely help my man Charlie Vega cause there is always something happening and his always doing something to his car!
Why does that name sound familiar?
My brother likes working on his car a lot and the scanner would really help a lot. his name is Charlie vega he commented on your video!!!!!! Hope he wins good luck!!!👍🏻
I think your whole family wants him to win!! That's awesome he likes working on cars!
i’m a DIYer. Went to school for the ford asset program but now i’m doing a lot of side jobs on the side. i know it’s not an IDS but the scanner could really help me. Keep up the good work!
If you have the subscription for ford like I did have it does everything IDS does. Pretty nifty little tool
This scanner would really help my son Charlie vega .he enjoys watching car repair videos and likes working on his car . This scanner would really help him get started on his mechanic journey.
So he wants to be a mechanic? And he currently does not work at a shop or anything? He just likes messing with his car?
Nice of you to do that. I'm not a mechanic but I like helping other people we all can do just a little to help others world would be a better place. Appreciate your vids and keep the great work up 👍👊
Thank you very much. Everyone can learn something from anybody. There's always something to learn. 👊
Fluffy sent me over #FM Fam..Independent shop owner , 1 man , me myself & I..30 + self employed..always interested in good info..fluff recommended 👍..not here for the giveaway..but interested in info on the tool..Awesome deal for someone..Thanks for your generosity..looking forward to your work..
Much appreciated. 1 man show. Less overhead. Can be stressful at times. You got this!
I have used this scan tool at the dealership I work at it's an awesome tool. Would be awesome to have my own. I'm going to start working on cars from home and this would complete my setup.
What dealer do you work for?
@@BeardedFordTech Mazda
@@billycurtis5788 nice. Does Mazda still use IDS?
@@BeardedFordTech Yes 👍🏾
Nice scan tool I’m just a Diy keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Nothing wrong with DIY at all. I encourage people do work on their own stuff. It's a great way to learn. But. If you don't get it and are about to screw something up. Stop and ask. 😁
Great little scan tool it looks like. I just got out of the independent shop and just joined Ford Monday be my first day.
Sweet! Congrats on the ford gig. You'll do very well!
I had just watched a video from fluffy Mexicanik, recently I had been working on cars with my oldest brother and I had been looking into buying a scanner, if I’m not able to win this I think I’ll buy one of these for myself you explained how to use this scanner excellent, best of luck to everyone 🔥🔥
💯💯. Awesome. Thank you for coming by. Fluffy is a good dude
Just starting out mobile mechanic self employed been working on cars for years with an Autozone obd reader
Keep doing your thing! Keep them customers rolling. Someone already won this one.
I have one and it really is a good tool to have
It worked awesome for me. See the new one I did a review on for ford. No subscription ever. It's free
I'm just starting out but I've been working on cars ever since I was 15 after my car wreck I decided to start doing it as a side job cause living on disability doesn't pay very much as we all know lol but this would help out a lot so good luck to everyone and thank you for all the advice I've gotten from you BFT!!
Your welcome. You like working on cars as a side gig? I understand the disability part. You have to do something. But fixing your car after a wreck made you want to start fixing cars? That's cool (not the wreck part) the fixing cars part.
@Bearded Ford Tech yea it's always been a passion of mine I want to go to college for it but money is just tight right now maybe I could get a grant or something to help with it but I turn to a lot of your videos cause my family owns nothing but ford so I turn to your videos for the advice I need on something we are actually in the process now of rebuilding a 2009 f150 .
Thats awesome man. I appreciate you checking the videos out too. Just reach out in email if you have any questions.
I use my innova 5610 and a foxwell scanner for home. Very nice little scanner for sure BFT
Foxwell wanted to send me one for review. I may have to reach back out to them. I've been hearing a lot about them.
@Bearded Ford Tech foxwell aren't too bad. I have the most basic version they make for like 60.00, nt301, I paid. I want to try out their tablet version, though. They do free updates, which is one feature I do like
@@justinsmet yeah they offered for me to try one. They gave me a link for people to use for a discount. I'll have to find it
@@BeardedFordTech ok sounds good
As somebody without a scan tool, this would be so helpful!
DIY? Shop?
My Snap-On "Brick" is good, but out dated. My hand held can only graph 1 value at a time. That would be used daily at my place. Awesome 😮🎉
Shop or side work?
@@BeardedFordTech 3 actually. 2 shops and side work. I run an alignment rack 3 days a weeks at one spot and do diagnosis at a second shop, 2/3 days a week. I help those "broke down" on the road as my "side hustle". I help Online Mechanic Tips (JT) and FM (Fluffy Mexicanik) during live streams in the chat. JT keeps telling me to do video(s) cause Cleveland Ohio has some CRAZY bad cars come in for repair. I don't fix everything at once, but I do my best. 😁👌
Thats a nice looking scanner
👍👍💯💯
My brother would really benefit from this he likes working on cars #charlie vega #God belesa you.
Does he work in a shop? Or does he just mess around with cars?
Nice bro. Like but don’t need it to old broken now, I leave it the professionals know
:)
I really need this
Sorry this contest has ended already.
hope to win this if u still have i really need one iv been on the trucks that come to the shop and wishing i can get one to use just cant afford it now being i just had to get a box of the trucks and u knw how much that ran
Someone already won this one. Sorry.
I am just a family mechanic, that would be a great addition but I already have a mucar V06. I hope someone who truly needs a scanner will win it.
You like your V06?
1st I think your awesome doing this. I myself would love it. But I'm not in the field anymore. But it would be nice for my f350. So for me, no. I have a cheap one and im somewhat happy with it.. Give it to someone who you think can use it.
Love your channel. ❤
Thank you. So many people to choose from.
This tool would really help me out . I'm always asking uncles,friends too use their scanner . I love working on my car and figuring out the issue. This tool would help due to it helping me pin point the problem and not just guessing which part is defective. I would also like too start reselling cars for some extra cash and this tool would really help me on my Starting and achieving my goal. #Scanner #non-offensive comment#Godblessyou. The mayor value in life is not in what you get,but in what you become.
We will see who the winner is in a week or so. What kind of cars are you going to be reselling? All kinds? Where are you located?
@@BeardedFordTech in a small city named Fresno in California. If I could get it for a good price and resell it for profit it will be mine.
I just bought the same scanner of someone do Matco has to register the device ?
Yes you have to register it. Contact mayco so they can verify there is no money owed on it by the person ypu purchased it from. Then they will allow ypu to use
@@BeardedFordTech if money is owed can I pay it off?
@JesusArzate-nv9io I have no idea. I wouldn't cause you just going to boost that person's credit. Inwould.contact matco first
Is this still going on?
No. Winner got chosen a while back
Trying to start my own business
I wish you the best of luck. Mobile or a brick and mortar shop? There has already been a winner for this tool.
@@BeardedFordTech mobile for now they goal is in 3-5 years have my own shop
How would I use the machine to check headlights work on my truck is a system of light work using that machine I changed all my fuses I did everything you want I know just don’t know what it can be
What year truck? Did you change from halogen to LED?
Can one program ABS modules with that scanner sir?
Yes. But there has already been a winner for this one.
@@BeardedFordTech oh ok It’s caise i have recently purchase a Matco maxlite scanner in a automotive student im trying to figure out what scanner or computer I can purchase to do programming for different modules and thank you for answering I enjoy all you’re videos.
@vanessaalaniz6045 yes these can program. But you have to purchase that subscription monthly or yearly. And be connected to the internet. If you don't. You can only read codes
Do you have any videos on how to do any of those programming’s sir these guys from Matco always have excuses and don’t want to help when you ask difficult questions.
@@vanessaalaniz6045 go to the module you want to program. And click reprogram. If your installing a new one. Before you take the old one out go to PMI Prgrammable Module Installation and follow instructions on the screen
Do it program keys?
Under pats function if you have the subscription for bi directional. Someone already won this though.
I just purchased one and I’m still on the fence about it…. Have a Kia stinger that I’m trying to figure out a “check electronic suspension” light…. But was curious about other functions 😅
@corinthianhoward6236 yeah. If you don't purchase the subscription for that manufacturer you can only read codes. If you do purchase it and you are connected to the internet you can do a lot.
Thanks man you earned a sub
@corinthianhoward6236 your very welcome. And thank you as well. I'll be around if you have any questions.
Hey man I got the exact same scanner but I can't make this thing work like you can you reach out to me
Send me an email. Email is in about me.
Diy, and pulling wrenches on neighbor's vehicles that are in a bind for cost of parts...
Yeah costs of parts are insanely high. Glad to see your helping your neighbors though.
Fluffy sent me #FMFAM
Much appreciated. He's a good dude. He's like a CVT king.
Seem like a great tool i am a DIYer.
Very nice. Just a question or two. Can you tell me why you think you should win and what you would use it for?
I have the think diag Richard sent me as a give away but this might help me out with doing power balance and going deeper into PCM ECM data and doing module programming too would be awesome to win it
I have a think diag too. I think I've used it once.
@@BeardedFordTech it's a ok device helped me with fixing my engine and reading sensor data and fuel trims which I still don't understand though
@@coreybabcock2023 yeah fuel trims you have to understand.
@@BeardedFordTech so if bank 1 ltft is like+ 10 percent and bank 2 is 6 to 8 + do I have a potential vacuum leak or something else
@@coreybabcock2023 no. Not really. Normal readings for fuel trim should be between +10% and -10%. If bank one goes any higher into the positive then it's running lean. Could be a vacuum leak. Could be an exhaust leak. Could be the intake tubing from air filter isn't sealed after the mass air flow sensor.
Don't pick me I don't really need it, find a young guy starting out. good luck
Okay. Thanks for the input. Have a wonderful day.
It's a rebranded launch tool and they suck
Actually it's a rebranded topdon tool. And it works good for DIY guys. I have factory stuff.
