I was curious to know if any of the experienced guys here are using graphing multimeters, scan tools, and digital ociliscopes to diganose and solve electrical problems?

I use my buddy's digital ociloscope to work on o2 sensor problems, and I use the consult at school to diag problems on stock, lightly modded nissans, such as throwing codes and such; but that will proved pretty useless to us CA guys. I just use a plain old Fluke multimeter for testing continuity, voltage drop, etc. over sensors that might be out of wack. So yes I use electronic tools to solve problems, just buy a nice multimeter and a decent test light, that'll be able to solve 98% of any problems you encounter.
