They a bit far from "essentially the same" the Rage is kind of similar to the Gator, but only in the sense that they're both rear deploying blades.
The Shwacker is similar to the Hypershock but not really at all similar to the Rage or Gator.
I like the Aftershock better than the Rage because the blades penetrate before opening, saving energy by not having to punch a 2" hole in the ribs on the entrance side.
