Shouldn't a squeegee be called a squeeger?
After all, it is the windshield that is being "squeeged" so it should be called the squeegee. The tool that is used to do the squeeging should be called a squeeger, should it not?

No.
A person squeezing a Squeegee is a squeeger.
Or better yet:
The squeeger was squeezing the Squeegee until the squeeger could squeeze no more squeeges from the Squeegee.
'Squeegee' is a brand name (trademark), registered with the patent office, no other 'thingamy' may be named 'Squeegee' unless ya wanna git sued.

There's no such verb as 'squeege', therefore the rest of your argument doesn't work despite being well presented.
