Great find Ron !
lol, tightass? Maybe. Why spend money when you could diagnose the problem for <$0.01?

It is my understanding that these tools reveal more codes than what the standard paper clip puts out and are more specific than the flash sequences.
I also thought that you would need some sort of honda service manual to decipher the codes to somewhat useful information.

P.S I called up Honda and got quoted $671 for a Workshop manual....nice...think I might buy 2 just so I have one spare......
