Using a Picoscope for Engine Diagnostics

Hi, as an old timer and tinkerer I just bought a few months ago a Picoscope 2205A on the hope of improving my DIY (and free mechanic) skills for my friends and neighbors.

This was after a had purchased a Hantek 1008C Scope (made and managed from China) that seemed a good deal but the software was horrible and they did not provide what I thought it would be reasonable support. I returned to Amazon just before expiration time and got my refund.
But, and here is the BUT; I had also purchased a AMP's clamp to 60and 650Amps plus HIgh Voltage ignition probesand some more paraphernalia that was not fair to return and I though cold be used with th Picoscope.

Well, even that Picoscope software allows you to create/customize new//different probes; I am not getting the hung of it and would like to consult with someone that can tell me if the Hantek CC-650 DC Amps clamp and the Hantek High Voltage Ignition probe HT-25 Aoto-Probe can be safely used in a useful way.I had made the work with using 20:1 attenuators until I can tell the ranges of the sampling getting to the probe.
But lack of experience, ignorance and old age are a bad recipe when the Scope I bought cost $200but lacks the protection hat the $900 for automotive work cost. I can not justify the expense for such expensive toy.

Anyone using scopes that had some experience with these Hantek probes on Picoscope hardware/software?

The Hantek and Picoscope both use the PC or Laptop as the display for the Oscilloscope signals
Your input will be greatly appreciated,
