Diagnostic tool?

Just wondering if I wanted a diagnostic scanner for my 98 XJ, what and where can I get it? What do you guys use?

Thanks

i picked up a obdII scan tool from harbor freight for $39 on sale....not only gives you the error codes, but tells you what they are. its nice for clearing the codes when i forget to tighten the gascap enough!
