Default Case for my new Tech 2 scanner..

I just received my new Tech 2 scan tool a few days ago. There are quite a few people now ordering these scanners to do diagnostics on their 2005-2012 C6s, so I thought I would show you a product I found to store your new scanner. I ordered my scanner without their plastic storage case because their case looked pretty cheap and was an extra $35.00.. If any of you guys or gals have a Tech 2 scanner and need a case , I found one that fits the tool perfectly and is way better looking then the companys case.. I picked this one up at Harbor Freight for $24.95.. Included are both dividers for separating the items, and foam that can be cut to hold the scanner and wires... I used just the dividers because the fit was perfect. The inside of the case is also fully padded , so drops or bumps won't hurt the scanner, the outside is made of aluminum with reinforced corners...This is a great deal for the money ...WW

Good find, looks like it was made for it. The Tech II is my next purchase. I know there are tons of threads on the Tech II clone and I have read most of them, but tell us, are you happy with the tool and what all have you done with it on your Vette?

What vendor did you buy from if you don't mind telling?
Thanks in advance.

I only received it a few days ago so I haven't had much scan time with it so far.. I did hook it up to my car and make sure everything worked... I have used the GM Tech 2 made by Bosch and this seems to be every bit as well made as that unit... I paid $289.00 at a company called (chinacardiags ) ,it took about 10 days to receive the scanner , and it comes well packed and the packaging is pretty much crush proof... I got free shipping on mine, but it looks like they are charging shipping now but have dropped the price of the unit a few dollars..The nice thing about this site is you can use Paypal to pay for it instead of a charge card.......WW

Can't remember any numbers ,but if you go in the store they only sell three different cases so it's easy to find...WW

It's this one... the black one.

https://www.harborfreight.com/18-in-...ase-62271.html

I got the same one for my Tech2 from WW7's original post.
They have been raising the price a couple dollars at a time now. Find an online coupon for 20% off and get it for less.

The black case has extra foam in it that is really nice to cushion the tool once you position it in the box just right.

I removed the top tool holder, don't need it with the upper and lower foam.
It's not really heavy duty but does the job fine as long as you don't plan on throwing it in the bed of a truck.
