None


* ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'' has variants for Protoss and Zerg, since neither really builds or repairs their structures. Protoss teleport theirs from their homeworld, and the Zerg buildings are living organisms grown from the ground by converting a harvester unit into a cocoon.

* ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'' has variants ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'': in full effect with Terran SCVs. Cutting up minerals when gathering, constructing buildings, fighting - all fusion torch. Dozen SCVs can blast a single bunker or a siege tank with their torches and repair it to full in seconds. Mostly avoided for Protoss and Zerg, since neither really builds or repairs their structures. Protoss teleport theirs from their homeworld, and the Zerg buildings are living organisms grown from the ground by converting a harvester unit into a cocoon.



* ''VideoGame/SupremeCommander'': The three factions have three different Magic Tools:
** [=UEF=]: Similar to a laser printer, consists of blue beams buzzing around the structure/unit.
** Cybran: Swarm of small drones, that shoot red beams, similar to [=UEF's=].

to:

* ''VideoGame/SupremeCommander'': The three Units with the complete engineering suite can construct, repair, reclaim wrecks and [[ImprovisedWeapon not-yet-wrecks]] and capture enemy units. When constructing and repairing, the four factions have three four cosmetically different Magic Tools:
** [=UEF=]: Similar to a laser printer, consists of blue beams buzzing around swiping back and forth the structure/unit.
side of the structure/unit, row by row from the top.
** Cybran: Swarm of small drones, drones that shoot red beams, similar to [=UEF's=].beams at random points of the constructed target.



** The first two are the same when building units, and structures, repairing, and reclaiming resources.

Added DiffLines:

* ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'': Nautica's wrench. It started out as an ordinary wrench, but [[MadScientist Brainstorm]] upgraded it for her and added "a billion new functions". Including a light that turns on when she exaggerates. And eventually, a button that causes it to say "Brainstorm is an ass" when pushed. It's overall a pretty blatant shout out to [[Series/DoctorWho the sonic screwdriver]].

* ''VideoGame/JaggedAlliance2'' plays with the trope a bit. Instead of a repair tool, you have repair tool''kits'', a consumable item that apparently contains the necessary spare parts and equipment to patch up ''anything''; firearms, night-vision goggles, body armor, and even (in the v1.13 expansion pack) holsters and other load-bearing equipment.
