code reader recommendations?

Hi ft86-DIY! Looking for recommendations for a code reader. I've been getting by with OBDLink LX + Torque for a while, but it's slow and cumbersome, and it doesn't read ABS codes. I currently have ABS+TC lights on and I'd like to try and diagnose it.

Any recommendations for a reliable code reader that can also read (& clear?) the ABS module codes?

I like my OFT as a reader. 2 for 1 .

It picked up an ABS code on a Toyota Camry. It also successfully read from a BMW 5, Mini Cooper, and Mazda 3.
