Foxwell sells two kinds of scanners, and mixing them up is the most common buying mistake. The NT510 Elite and NT710 are brand-specific: they go deep on one make family, with bidirectional tests and many resets, but only read generic OBDII on other brands. The NT614, NT624 and NT716 are low-cost all-makes code readers that differ in how many systems and resets they cover. The NT726, NT809BT and NT919BT are all-makes bidirectional tools for people who work on more than one brand. This guide compares eight Foxwell models using what each Amazon listing states: systems covered, bidirectional control, reset count, make focus, screen and update terms. If you own one or two cars from the same maker, a brand-specific model is often enough. If you fix cars for family and friends, start with the all-makes tools.
