Park Tool hammer is *not* deadblow. https://www.parktool.com/product/shop-hammer-hmr-4?category=General%20Shop%20Tools#tabbed-section
Here's the soft/hard face dead blow I mostly reach for these days. I like this one. (I also have a Snap-on ball peen deadblow that gets used everywhere.)

For ODB-II…. I have a Gap IIDTool for the Land Rover and in addition to letting you know codes, you can (re) program all the ECUs and modify the suspension. Super helpful for any Land Rover owner. [h/t Troy Angrignon]
I like the ScanGuage, but it doesn’t decode, so you need a manual also. I use it as supplemental gauges; nice bonus that it reads ODBII codes. [h/t David Robinson]

and
NOCO brand (similar to Microstart)
