Related Tools

The Wingman has another tool that is built just like it except for a slightly different tool set the Sidekick and another similar tool called the Rev. The Leap is also very similarly built. The handles of the New Wave also have a very similar build and may have been the inspiration for this series. That would also make the Surge and Charge similar. The Wave also has a similar handle type compared to the Wingman as well.
