I'm putting my faith into this tool. Has this tool misled anyone, or hit the nail on the head?

A tool is only as good as the person using it.
I bought the tool before I actually had my first issue with my Boxster, and that turned out to be the air bag light, caused by the passenger seat belt. Cleared the code, and it never came back.
Next up was the CEL, and it said it was a P0102 code.
I did some research on potential causes, and then used the Durametric tool to test the readings coming from the MAP sensor, where I determined that the V signal from the sensor never changed. I replaced the sensor after ruling out any other potential culprits, and all was right in the world once again.
Just having the tool doesn't assure you of anything.
Knowing how to use it, and test the car with it, is what will determine if you like the product, or hate the product.
