Default Tow Out Gear

Is this the same Tool-Tech rigging aid that Wings and Wheels sells? I
am trying to compare the 3 riggers that I can find available in the US
(Wings and Wheels, Udo, and M&M) and really cannot make a decision.
The wing holding cradle on the Wings and Wheels model seems like it
might be less good on a flapped wing because it appears to grab the
wing on the trailing edge. The Udo and M&M models seem to be almost
identical in that regard, but the M&M does not have the horizontal
adjustment option. Shipping from M&M is about half of what Udo asks.

Anyone have any advice here? I cannot find anyone at my club who knows
about these, and the only thing keeping me from ordering today is that
I really cannot figure out which to order! Wish that I could go to the
SSA convention to look for myself....

Thanks.
