For around $350 for the genuine Durametric, what's expensive about it? The time it saves diagnosing problem CEL's + checking the health of your car electrical & mechanical systems, its a steal. Sure it sits in the cupboard 99% of the time, but wait until you spend a few frustrating days tracking down a fault & then, having failed to find the problem, you must take the car to your favourite shop ($$$) - you will soon realise its true worth.
I bought mine about 5 years ago for about the same price and within 3 weeks it paid for itself by diagnosing a faulty MAF (warranty claim).
I consider the Durametric as just about the most important tool in my garage.....
