I hope it was OK to necro a year old thread!  But being a club, I thought it needed to be raised!

While my Wingman doesn't get a lot of pocket time anymore, it's always in my bag :tu:

@TexasATM - it's a Streamlight Protac 2L. I figure if I have to go to my back up light I'm going to need it bright and for a long time :tu:

    Not much Winging lately, so I took a spade and dug up the old Wingman/Sidekick Club thread.  Best wishes.  G

   Thanks, Poncho.  I doubt if the Wingman, Sidekick, and it's ilk are really that high on the scale as far as coveted Leatherman models.  There are quite a few of them out there though.  Evidently the Wingman has been discontinued, if the statement to that effect from a certain retailer is true.  There are quite a few still for sale, so it won't be a scarce item for some time.  Might have been discontinued by the retailer.  I haven't heard anyone say anything definitive on this site.
     I like the one I have but haven't bothered to take any pix until now.  Maybe digging up this old thread will encourage some others to get their Sidekick, Wingman, or whatever out.  Best wishes.  G

   I brought along a Wingman as I did lawn work today.  Didn't need it, but on the other hand I didn't lose it either.  You can see where I put a ring in the handle and my usual shoestring tether.  Wingman was clipped to my front pocket and never moved.  Best wishes.  G

   I looked for the Wingman club thread and finally found it.  Looks like someone named IM.... wait, that was me, was the last one to post here.  It is taking me a long time to type this out.  I got jelly on the H and the spacebar.  Ick.  Can't just lick it off.  Wait a minute.  Actually, you CAN just lick it off.  No, I didn't take a photo.  Wingman went along on a little work detail down my driveway.  Horrendous winds yesterday.  Didn't last long, but quite strong.  Didn't knock down anything big.  Best wishes.  G

Looking great Gary!  My son had a Wingman and I always thought it was a well built multitool.

I don't know which is worse: horrendous winds or snow. Great photo! :like:

   Winds or snow.  Either one usually means power outages here.  That means, get out my Coleman propane camp stove and cook on it.  I carried the Wingman part of the day today and an Opinel later.  Best wishes.  G

I don't normally buy Leathermans just for new colors, but I couldn't pass up these Costco Exclusive Sidekicks.  They were only $49.99 and even included a sheath.

I love my Sidekick. It's absolutely my favorite Leatherman tool right now. My only wish is that it had locking drivers, and swappable wire cutters. Other than that, it's pretty much perfect.

Wonder if LM will do the same with the WINGMAN?

I thought the WINGMAN was the better tool set for home and business settings.

Maybe because of scissors and package tool.

At least that is how I felt. Made great gifts.

When I was working on the road, different HOME DEPOTS stores would have these on sale frequently.
The Rev $15 to $20
The Wingman $20 to $25
And the SideKick $30 just because it was packaged with a panache sheath and a LM carabiner tool.

Normal price iirc was $29.95, $39.95 and $49.95 respectfully.
To me the Wingman was the best value for tool set and function and best to gift as a useful tool.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!
