For at least $250.

Why is such an important tool being made by only one company for such a high price?
Here's a weird brand for $129 (right now, anyway, $159 regular price):

XTOOL TP150 TPMS Relearn Tool 2024 Newest Version, Tire Pressure Light Reset, All Universal Sensors Activation/Relearn, XTOOL TS100 Sensors Programming Only

The reviews appear to be good except for idiots who can't figure out how to use tools, but ya know, try it out inside the return window.

At least for some brands, there's a solid argument for buying the generic tools, though - the GM one I just used was $10 and worked fine, there's a Motorcraft knockoff for Fords for $12, etc. Some manufacturers appear to have sufficiently complex systems that there aren't cheap tools readily available, and there's definitely a point where you might want to be able to cover other brands, but ... I think I'll probably just buy the Motorcraft knockoff and call it good for $22.

"Sketch" ... because it's from an animated series

Screw that guy. Have fun with your car.

Adults who still use the word "poser" are in fact the real posers.
