Whats the difference in a Nissan diag tool and just being able to pull sensor data and CEL codes?

I use my HTC Evo 4G android phone and the Torque app along with a bluetooth OBD II adapter to read the codes, clear them, and check sensor data on my cars.

I haven't decided yet.how about you?

From the description given -- "retrieves and resets OBDII codes" -- it sounds like any number of commonly available scan tools available at any auto parts store, usually with prices starting at about $40.

Is it just because it's cheap?

I bought a $30 piece from Amazon, it isnt too bad. It is not bluetooth, I have to lug it around with a laptop. I have my old HF scanner for sale if you guys want one

Huh?... Any OBDII tool with CAN protocol that also has MIL capability will do what this "mystery" tool does.

Funny this thread showed up. I was just looking at the torque tool and researching. It looks pretty good. For the guys that have it, is there any lag on readings? How accurate are the hp numbers vs dyno numbers if you've done a dyno run?
