The Wrench, also known as the Uhlman Build-Matic Wrench, is the default melee weapon for the Engineer. It is similar in appearance to a Template:W.
The primary function of this weapon is the upgrade and repair of Dispensers, Teleporters, and Sentry Guns. In addition, while placed buildings will construct themselves, striking them with the Wrench will cause them to build twice as fast. This effect stacks with each additional Engineer striking the building with their Wrench during construction. It can also be used to remove a Spy's Sappers from buildings. The Wrench's critical hit animation is a swing from right to left.
Switching from this weapon to a different melee weapon will destroy all existing buildings.

- Fixed some cases where strange wrenches would fail to correctly count kills.
August 15, 2012 Patch (Mann vs. Machine)

Trivia
- Because damage dealt by Sentry Guns increases an Engineer's critical hit chance, an Engineer can earn a high crit rate without dealing much damage himself. This, combined with the 15% base crit rate on melee weapons, leads to misconceptions about the Wrench's "unnaturally high" crit rate.
- The in-game model for the Wrench is based on the original Template:W designed by the Coes company in the 19th century.
