[boyete]

Hello all,

Just wanted to check if any of you actually purchased this tool?

Please advise.

Thanks,

I'll repeat what I said about a week ago in reference to an equally bogus PIWIS system.............

"From time to time, someone shows up claiming to have an "inexpensive PIWIS clone", usually from China. The funny bit is that the ones that actually work (many simply do not work at all) turn out to be using a ripped off copy of an old Durametric system.

With Porsche charging near-housing prices just to lease a PIWIS for a year, people should both be glad that there are entrepreneurial firms like Durametric out there, and supportive of the fact that provide quality products at reasonable prices."

How about instead you support the people that support us.............

Pay the price and get a real proper Durametric cable and software. Well worth every penny and the company has great customer service if you have any questions.

Thanks much for the response, looking at getting it here in Melbourne, Australia but could not locate a distributor.

i say give it a shot...worst case you burn 68 bucks....and even if you go and buy the real durametric later on, you will still be cheaper than a visit for a PIWIS. Plus you can get back to us on whether or not it is worth it....support the forum community....i spend 60 bucks on VOA samples from blackstone labs to validate Toyota Type IV and Porsche ATF were one in the same.....let's test this durametric cable now too!

But to comment on the "China" comment....just because something isn't made in the US doesn't automatically make it crap....i would be willing to bet the ICs that Durametric uses are made somewhere on the Pacific Rim....most all electronic components are these days are because of health and cost issues associated with the manufacturing processes.

Sorry I do not care where it is made if it is ripping off a legitimate company. In most states this is illegal.
