    My first multitool mod!

    So after carrying the Wingman and the Wave for a while, I came to the following conclusion:

    The Wave is the perfect multitool in every regard except two:
    1. The pliers are not spring loaded
    2. The wire cutters are the overlapping kind

    This conclusion was accompanied by a complimentary one:

    The Wingman is a terrible, terrible multitool in every regard except two:
    1. The pliers are spring loaded
    2. The wire cutters are the anvil kind

    Having nothing better to do with my time, I disassembled both tools and attempted to attach the Wingman plier head to the Wave handles. Unfortunately, the two are incompatible. Therefore, if I was to attain the “perfect” multitool, I would need to take the Wave tools and put them on the Wingman body.

    Here is the result (so far):

    So far, I’ve replaced the minuscule combo blade on the Wingman with the blade from the Wave, and I’ve added the scissors from the Wave as well. I’m also trying to find a cheap used Sidekick, cause I plan to use the saw and the small serrated blade from that one.

    Thoughts?

    Also, if anyone has a used Sidekick that they would be willing to part with, I’m willing to buy it.

    In completely unrelated news, I have a bunch of tools and parts from the Wave. If anyone wants these for their own porpoises, I would be happy to sell.
