Had to ask here as I can't pm you. Would value your thoughts on this. Looking for thoughts on this diagnostic tool. I know it's cheap and Chinese but what isn't Chinese these days?

My intended use: I don't get involved in any long, laborious, challenging jobs - I try to stick to servicing, tyres, brakes and the odd minor repair. I don't get involved in reading live data stuff because, quite frankly, I don't understand it and I think I'm too long in the tooth to start learning!
I currently have a Diagnos diagnostic tool, had it since about 2001, cost around £4K (someone else's money - grant was given) and the last time I updated it was in 2006 at a cost of £1500 (again, someone else's money) for just one multi-vehicle cartridge. Apart from a bit of code reading, it's mainly used for resetting VW service lights! Obviously it only does vehicles up to 2006 so I mainly use the EOBD function.
I was just looking for something smaller, more modern, with EPB functions and with the ability to reset more service lights. For example, I serviced a Fiat 500 last week and couldn't reset the service light.
What's your opinion on this, bearing in mind my needs - I'm never going to get involved to the level you are at!
