- The New scanner from Snap-on Tools was released mid April 2019. It is called the Triton D8. This scan tool is based off the Modis Edge platform but is supposed to be faster and now is equipped with the Intelligent Diagnostic software that was previously only available with the Zeus and then the Apollo. Priced near $6000 plus $1500 for the software subscription package it is priced very close to the Modis Edge $6000 plus $1299 for software updates.
Wow! It’s come a long way from all the manuals and discs. Amazing! Good videos!
Matthew Walker Do you remember the stacks of disc it took!! Way more convenient online and built into the scanner. Thanks for hanging out in the live stream!!
Exactly what I was looking for and went over information I was pre curious about. Great video im gonna get one. Thanks.
you have the zeus no need for the triton. me myself I just picked up the triton d8 my first scan with scope and the inteli sold it for me. but thanks very informative video. I needed to learn to use the way to get into the how to. have c450 cylinder 1 camshaft off timing.
Zeus vs Triton, is it worth it to get the Zeus? Also What features does the Triton have over the Modis? I'm looking online and can get the Modis Ultra for about $1500 used so I'm really tempted to get it. My biggest concern is it becoming obsolete in a few years.
Can you tell me if it can do a relearn on a yaw sensor on a 2011 gmc 1500 thanks
For people wondering about the longevity of the ultra products and edge products solus modis and ethos...
Snapon will support edge products for atleast another 5 years... ultra products were supose to end at 19.2 but have been extended until further notice as of now there is no discontinuation deadline.
All products older than ultra products have all been discontinued.
For reals that girl is hilar's
I heard the same thing from the snap on product regional director but he said that can change up or down. I love my Verus Edge
Nice video, you've got great tools!
Thanks Dan. Nice but pricy. After seeing all the other options out there I might have to expand my scanner collection to some other brands.
Is this still a good purchase? Does it scan diesels
What is the difference between the Triton D8 & D10
Snap-On is turning back around. And I think will be back on top again if they will just come down a little more on their prices.
I couldn’t agree with you more on the prices. I think they need to drop about 20%. I suppose if the dealer chooses to make less money per sale you could save about 10-20%.
no doubt Snap-On worth there money one reason customer service alone can't beat it. my guy Timmy my dealer he great goes over my box takes my tools and fixes them for me without me saying so yes I am oner of his better clients but you look at my tools and they stay new and I do take extra care of them its what I make my money with. safe tools safe cars.
I just bought this Triton D8 last week and it's Snappy fast with 19.2 and euro included compared to the Verus Pro I was using. I wanted the ZEUS but the firmware is older and I heard the 18.4 firmware had some glitches I didn't wont to take any chances for how much the ZEUS cost. And the Triton D8 gets the job done fast without Windows booting up and it's on before I can plug in the diagnostic connector. Yes it is fast!
The speed of the Triton D8 is amazing. I thought my Modis Edge was fast compared to the Zeus but the Triton is so much faster. Congratulations on the the new scanner.
The Zeus has 19.2 it uses the same software as any other scanner. The Zeus is only a few more grand and you get 3 years of updates and warrenty (4k) value alone the D8 only has 1 year
@@ThePracticalMechanic is this stolla good purchase? Does it read diesels
Nice video! And that bonus footage is priceless, I’d have been rolling! Any word on if and how the new software has accessibility to new SGW modules on newer FCA group stuff?
They have release very little public information that I can get ahold of but I will double check the info I have a see what the FCA coverage is.
FCA coverage stops a 2017 so I guess they don't have it worked out yet. I sent an email over also.
How do you like your ZEUS compared to using the Triton D8 and which one are you more compelled to reach for, even though one is a 4 channel scope and the other is a 2 channel scope, and explain please?
The speed of the Triton D8 is amazing compared to the Zeus. Since I have the Zeus I still grab it first because I can run third party programs and websites. I also use it at times with screen capture software to aid my CZcams videos. I doubt I will ever use all four channels on Zeus because I have a Pico scope at my disposal and it’s easier to have a separate machine for scanning and scoping at that point. If I was going to buy a new scanner today and my choice was between the Zeus and the Triton D8 I would probably buy the Triton because of the speed. If you have mobile needs then the Verus or Zeus might be better.
Has Snap On said whether or not they can connect to new FCA products for Bi directional control? I ask because I heard FCA now has a Security Gateway Module that blocks most current scanners from doing any coding or bi directional controls. I know there are bypass cables, but that calls for pulling dash panels off to get to the SGM.
Snapon has it in the works and is supposed to be nearly complete with the co-op with FCA. It probably won’t be released until 2020 but there is a slim chance that it could be released in version 19.4. I’m not sure if it requires a new cable or not.
@@ThePracticalMechanic Ok, thank you for your reply.
The monthly subscription and an update fee into one?
You can pay monthly subscription fee or pay for the year up front. I think its about $1500 a year either way but you probably save a little for paying up front. My Zeus is ~$130/month for the software.
What are the differences in the Triton D8 vs the solus legend?
Joshua Ward the triton has a 2 channel labscope built in and also has the intelligent diagnostic feature that relates the codes pulled from the vehicle to common problem and TSBs to help the diagnostic process without leaving the car. The solus legend is just a scanner and honestly fits the needs of most technicians. Unless your going to be using the scope feature often the solus will be the better buy. Updates are cheaper for the solus also.
Ok so Modis or Triton D8 today which one do you buy. Price isn't of concern, both running 19.4. What is fair pricing for each? Thanks
If they are both running 19.4 then I would buy the cheaper one because at that point they are identical but the triton is going to give you more messages about updating. The extra features of the triton stop working if the software is out of date. Not sure what fair pricing is really. It depends on what accessories come with. Should have a yellow and green test leads, charge cable, obd2 cable, soft sided carry case. If the accessories are missing it will cost you more to get setup for scoping. If you aren’t going to using the scope ever look for the Apollo instead because the updates are cheaper. My dealer sells used solus/Apollo scanner for $1000-1500 and modis/triton for $1500-2500.
ThePracticalMechanic awesome quick response, thanks. I should have said they are both new so I was wondering pricing on new rather than old. Thanks!!
how does this compare to the older snap on's like the platform on modis ultra and modis edge where you can buy used and still use it just fine without having to update it regularly can you still use everything other then suretrack without updating regularly or is it like the new style matco if you do not pay the monthly fee it turns into a high priced code reader only
It maintains full scantool functionality even if the subscription expires. You have to keep the subscription current to use Altus and suretrack. We have a couple of techs with software as old as 17.4 and they still work but lack some of the full scan features of the 19 software.
@@ThePracticalMechanic ok thank you ive seen a few apollo and tritans for around 1000 to 1500 with 18 and 19 software but didn't want to buy one then just have a high priced code reader till i had it updated and pay for the subscriptions
the intelligent scan still work without update or subs ? forgot to ask that part
Will Adams the Apollo and triton will also lack the intelligent diag feature. It will work just like a solus or modis if they out of date. Those prices seem pretty good.
@@ThePracticalMechanic ok thank you for the info was afraid i would be losing the intelligent feature if not current on update and sub but still so have to weigh paying more for the same features as my current ethos edge and verus 325 but always nice to have newer in case i want to update
Con ese escaner se puede desblokear un estereo de pantalla
Does the modis have the component test where u can turn systems on and off
The Modis has bidirectional controls that will let you activate certain relays and components on many vehicles. It also has guided component testing that will help you connect the scope leads to a certain component and give you information on how that component is supposed to function.
@@ThePracticalMechanic how good is the scope compared to a picoscope? Can u see discrepancy easily?
Andrew Garcia it has its pros and cons. I have both and I always reach for the Pico first because of the ease of navigation. The snapon will have the guided test for most makes and models the Picoscope has generic test procedures that can be applied to most vehicles. The Pico requires a laptop and usb cables and isn’t as easy connect real quick unless you have a diag cart setup. The snapon requires just a few seconds to connect cables to scanner and to vehicle. Longer cables may be needed for both scopes for test drive usage but the Pico comes with longer leads than the snapon. Snapon requires you to set your time scale at the closest you want to see and then allows you to zoom out after the capture to see the big picture. Pico starts with the big picture and then you can zoom into the fine details of the capture as long as your settings are correct.
I think Pico is more versatile as an all around scope.
My snap on rep said he can get me one for $3700 after a $300 mail in rebate, was he looking at the wrong one? Or is that just the tool without the subscription
The $6000 is the retail price. The dealer has the option to lower the price. My dealer said If I trade in my old solus pro I will pay $3300 for the scanner and additional for the subscription. I know he’s not giving me $3000 trade for my old solus that he will try and sell for $800-1000.
Got one today, with tax and conversion around 3800$ us + subscription.
diesel66 periard at least some dealers aren’t worried about making top dollar.
I have the opportunity to buy a used triton d8 for cheap, so cheap that it’s almost concerning $1800. What advice can you give me? What should I look for before buying it?
I’ve seen many of them listed for $1500-2500 depending on software level included. To bring it up to date could cost $800 or so. Make sure it has European software as well. Almost all came with euro included during original purchase. If the cord is worn out I would replace that as well but if it was taken care of the cord will last the life of the tool.
Wow I really appreciate the quick response. How can I tell if it comes with the European software?
@@ThePracticalMechanic talking to some of my coworkers they told me that Snap on dealers don’t like it when you buy a scanner off another technician and they may give lots of headaches when trying to update it. Do you know anything about this?
@@Acosta-on7do I have a good working relationship with my Snapon dealer so I wouldn’t worry about it. You could always call your Snapon guy and ask him if he has any tritons for sale or ask him if he thinks it’s a good deal on the used one. This will break the ice and he can either offer you one of his trade ins for the same price or say yeah it’s a good deal go buy the used one.
@@ThePracticalMechanic thanks for your help. I got the scanner for a total of 2100 with the latest update which I believe it’s a great deal. Thanks
That girl is hilarious you should use her more in the videos
🤦🏼♂️oh nooooooo. I mean I guess she is funnier than me.
@@ThePracticalMechanic i agree with mr. johnson. more of the hilarious girl!
I’ve got the Zeus and so far update is nice but has glitches they need some patches for.
I’m glad they finally added Altus to the the Zeus even it I don’t use it much. What kind of glitches have you run into. I haven’t used my Zeus much since the update.
Altus is definitely a great add on. Had a 2011 Nissan rouge and Zeus wouldn’t auto load vehicle or perform full system scan on all modules and tried restarting Zeus and restarting vci and still wouldn’t load. Launch and autel worked perfectly. One thing I can remember off the top of my head
I just checked my vehicle history and the one I had issues with last week was a Suzuki Grand Vitari. Zeus has no comm to pcm but my Modis did. Launch Creader also failed to communicate.
ThePracticalMechanic I hear ya completely there. Every tool has their limitations.
ThePracticalMechanic Bunch of us CZcams creators our networking in Google hangouts and was wondering if you’d like to join?
They need to ditch tkip-wep. Don't communicate with my one-year-old modem I need to older one for it to work
My friend just got me a 2019 modis ultra 19.4 , just wondering about them,, payed 750 dollars
That was the last update available if I remember correctly. It will be a great diagnostic tool for everything 2019 and older. It has a lab scope and volt meter built in as well. The battery life isn’t the best but is can be powered by plugging it in so that’s not a big deal. If you’re doing extended lab scope work or using it as a voltmeter you may want to get a power cord to plug it into the cigarette lighter or connected to the car battery.
@@ThePracticalMechanic Thanks for getting back to me,, l think I did ok most I've seen are twice that price, lm amazed of what it can do and it's so fast.
Snap on is pricing themselves out of the market.
I see what you mean they are very expensive and theses other companies now have the rights to make almost or just as good tools for a fraction some even are good with warrenty. me I'm a die hard snap on when it comes to certain things like scan tools things like that the guys are always around I call them I'm not talking over seas and tool turn around is next day or so unless back ordered. me I'm to busy to go to the store to deal with exchanges and stuff so it does work for me. I have an autel just for electric brakes and small things I just got the triton d8 this week passed for the 2 channel scope and info intelligent diag. just for a update on my autel I was having an issue with the uploads and came to be thew wire itself I was on the phone for hours doing this and that I hung up first time from pure frustration. snap on I give him my scanners my little code reader 400$ and yes I payed to upgrade it but shit I got back a new red case and I didn't ned to explain myself. for the money shit I should be treated as king lol but that's what we pay for. and if your interested in going your own way eventually if haven't already its your investment in your self.
A little high but if you get cheap payments then it pays foe its self really.
Before you buy😂anything calculate cost vs effective value.. Consider a OBDll Blue Driver at $100 talking to an iPhone 12 $800 tells you a lot about about the why of the Check Engine Light came on and shows the ECM PIDS. And you still have the iPhone in your back pocket for its intended use.. $8K for a Triton D8 + subscription fee makes it a challenge to get it in the cost effective arena even if 8 friendly guys in a shop are sharing it.
You much better off getting an Autel MS906 or MS908, soooooo much cheaper in price and first year of free updates
I THINK SHE SOME IT UP ABOUT RIGHT !
Jesus those are so fucking expensive for what it is, i'll just get the autel mk908p
Snap on scanners are JUNK unless you pay the unreal update fees. Also nearly every other scanner does ferarri Lamborghini rolls royce Bentley, snap on won’t touch for 1/4 the cost get a autel and save your money for scope addons OR buy a launch and autel and still be cheaper than a scanner and be set
Denney Does It you have to pay for updates on every real scanner.
Autel isn’t a fake tool and doesn’t require paid subscription, dollars to donuts I believe the autel is amazing, my opinion but I feel strongly about snap ons functionality lacking, to be clear I use a Verus edge, Autel Maxisys, Launch CRP129, and even testing out the Maximus for my shop this week from matco, believe that platform uses launch software but far superior utility on European, ANYWHERE but snap on, including SAAB, Audi R8, Lamborghini, Ferrari, rolls Royce, Bentley. Also wouldn’t you be disappointed finding out that you can not scan an Audi R8 although you have Audi coverage? Or even a G wagon AMG Mercedes Benz, Or even a SLS AMG, They both still fall under scanner coverage but truely not covered
Exactly what I was looking for and went over information I was pre curious about. Great video im gonna get one. Thanks.
