I have a 1993 F150. ODBI. Looking for a scan tool per sey. Found a Mac Tools ET2010. Is it a good tool for diagnosing engine problems on per ODBII cars/trucks.
Would it be worth $125.00?
I am not familiar with that scanner but as a starting point you are better off Googling on that particular vehicle how to retrieve the codes for free. They each have a ‘sequence’ to follow to get the codes.
Realize with OBDI scanners you won’t get the same wealth of information about the vehicle’s engine and other modules that you would with an OBDII scanner.

You can also try the following tool below from Innova; it would be a good idea to email or contact them and verify your vehicle is supported - it should be since it’s a mass market truck, but it’s good to verify before purchasing:
