Pocket Mechanic is on sale today during PocketGear's Summer promotion but is that really the best tool for the job? After you vote for your favorite system cleaning utility post a message about why you like it. And I if I missed a really great product please mention that too.

I've been using SKTools AND MemMaid. Both seem a bit different enough to have both, especially with my PPCThoughts discount. :wink:

You're right SK Tools and MemMaid seem to be significantly different with Pocket Mechanic somewhere in the middle. SK Tools being the more robust of the set and MemMaid the most user friendly.

I'm a little partial to MemMaid since the trail version has already saved me from an annoying notification error. I like the look of mobile mechanic too but it seems to hang up when it's scanning my notification queue. SK Tools has an almost overwhelming set of features. A lot of those features I'm pretty sure I will never use. It also has really tiny fonts.

Definitely, MemMaid.
I'm a visual person and I like the interface alot.

it also saved me some memory space on the first day i tried it.

I agree with gregmills, SKTools has got some features i may never use and its user interface is not really designed for visual people (like me).

I was looking at each one. MemMaid fixed a problem with my PPC as well (using the trial) so I gladly sent them my money. Bought SKTools on a whim when I was having SD card troubles since it has a set of card functions.

You can change the font sizes in SKTools. :wink:
