Why should we choose to get Galletto V54 4 and kess v2 together?

Galletto 4 FGTech V54 work with truck, including Benz truck, read and write ECU via both BDM and OBD; KESS not works with truck, read and write ECU via only OBD, not BDM.

Why should we choose to get Kess v2 and Ktag together?

KESS V2 is a ECU programming tool that is perfect for OBD use, while KTag is perfect for Jtag, BDM and all the Boot application (tricore and ST10).

With KESS V2 you programming directly through the OBD port of the vehicle, while with Ktag (Ktag 2.13) you need to take apart the ECU and open it, after you can make the read/write operation.

Many ECU has the advantage that can be read and write from OBD port (so KESS V2 is perfect), but there are lot ECU that need to disassemble from the car and open and this is the case for all the ECU that need to be programmed with Jtag, BDM and Boot protocols, so KTAG is needed.

Why should we choose to get Fgtech 4, Kess v2 and Ktag all together? 

As we all know, there are no things are universal in this world. Anyways, there are no repair tools will cover all cars vehicles and if you buy clone tools, buy all (galletto+kess+ktag) from them, in order that you could cover much more vehicles, or,  you had better to get a nice original tool if you need to program, it is all decided by you.
