Has anyone used the Hyper Tough HT309 code reader that cost around $20? If so, what did you think?

I hope it's better quality than the cheap hyper tough oil catch pan I bought that cracked the first time I went to use in and sent 5qts of oil out all over the driveway.
Most people who want an inexpensive code reader get a bluetooth OBDII connector and use Torque on the smartphone.
If you have a Ford then there is a great one for a PC & phone, FORSCAN.
Then there are the handheld ones for $100 to $250. And the bidirectional ones are more $$.

I have a bluetooth one and use a few different phone apps and I also have this one. https://www.amazon.com/ANCEL-AD310-Enhanced-Universal-Diagnostic/dp/B01G5EA74I/
Both are fine and do the trick. Don't expect ABS functionality or anything bi-directional.
Don't overthink it, just get a $20-30 one for starters and if you want a really good one later on, get it.

It looks similar if not identical to an old Autel model I got a few years ago but was DOA, so I returned it for a refund and just got another OBDII bluetooth ELM327 clone dongle instead.

I'm not sure why you'd get that instead of the BAFX, been in use a long time and over 15k reviews on Amazon. Yes, 15,000+.
