    Pegisys versys Genisys

    otc3696082608.jpgpegisys-in-shop-hands.jpgOTC Tools has advised us that the OTC3696 Genisys™ is here to stay. A recent announcement touting the OTC3825 Pegisys™ the next best thing since sliced bread is true, yet representatives from OTC Tools state that they are unsure whether the Pegisys will be accepted with open arms. The OTC3696 Genisys has been the workhorse of onboard diagnostics in the mechanics tools market for many years now but has seen its identity shrinking away in large part due to private labeling under so many part numbers that it is hardly recognized as it was when it first came out of the oven.  OTC Tools has starship expectations for the new Pegisys OTC3825 yet it appears that they can’t come to terms with the fact that they are their own worst enemy when it comes to ruining a great recipe. Below we list what the Genisys OTC3696 shows on its resume. Can it compete with the new OTC3825 Pegisys? I don’t think so. You Decide.

    OTC3825 - Pegisys™- Lag time

    The new OTC3825 Pegisys™ is still in the delay mode. SPX Service Solutions has been on a traveling road show for some time now yet they continue to cancel training and marketing meetings while Snap-On Tools® is hot on their heels. The OTC3825 Pegisys with its professional enhanced graphical info system is running into issues which are not being explained by SPX personel. Snap-On is keeping quiet regarding their new product, but one thing you can count on is that when they do come to market it will not have the MRP ( Manufacturers Restrictive Pricing) issues associated with its product as OTC Tools has. OTC instituted this policy in the early part of 2008 for a number of convoluted reasons refusing to recognize that the market dictates the worth of a product. Mechanics Tool Supply expects the Pegisys OTC3825 delivery in early September, yet the way its looking it could be much later.
