Which of these two readers is better/best for a MB?

Innova 5610

FOXWELL NT10

The world of code readers is vast and varied and it seems that short of having a phd in auto mechanics it’s very murky on what does what and how. I’m just an old school dude who is willing to turn a wrench or two as a hobby.

My garage is currently housing a 2026 Lucid Gravity, 2023 Dodge Ram, 2008 GL450, 2008 MX-5, and a 1998 Boxster. I’m willing to work on 4 of the 6 (not touching the Lucid, or Ram as they are under warranty). But was just curious about the readers for Benz’s.

The Launch MB scanner has great reviews on the forum. I have the MB version, the BMW version, and the MB/BMW/Audi version.

Since you’re asking what is best, that would be a DAS clone system with X entry pirated and install installed on it.

I don’t know if either of these two are even adequate.

I have the Foxwell, and it’s been a pretty good scanner. You can buy different “modules” for different manufactures. I have Benz and VW/Audi installed on mine. It does everything I need it for.
