Sorry, looks like I inserted the translated version in the english page. *shame* Thanks for moving it to where it belongs. :) Morrolan 20:18, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Would an unused wrench model in the TF2 files count as interesting trivia? Sage J. Fox 01:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Is the part about the original inspiration for the wrench true? I think that might be a well know myth. I'll research it. Wakespearicles 13:49, 18 October 2011 (PDT)

We need the Festive Wrench!

It's been a year and no one has made an image. I would if I could figure it out, but I have no idea what to do. All of the other 2011 Festives have their 3D images except the Wrench. I'm going to add a message asking someone to please make a 3D image. The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheNoobThatWas (talk) • (contribs)

Damage and function times

I've updated the page to match the new changes from the Gun Mettle Update, and also added patch notes. I did however not change the damage and function times as I'm unsure if it needs changes or not. --Woozie (talk) 05:59, 6 July 2015 (PDT)

Is this bug fixed?

Bug: "Some times, the lights on the festive version of the weapon will vanish making it appear like a normal Wrench."

Latest patch note: "Fixed the Festive Wrench not showing the lights in client view."

Is the bug fixed now? ⇒Leaderboard class spy.png Anyar (talk/contributions/giveaway) 17:43, 12 March 2017 (PDT)

"Railroad monkey wrench"

In the recent edits, I removed "railroad" from the Lead. This usage is actually documentable, but not useful to the page. The Wrench design was originally developed for working on wagon wheels. Later, 19th century railroads used a lot of these adjustable wrenches, and collectors generally call these and other antique wrenches "Railroad monkey wrenches", informally, but only if a railroad has stamped its name on it.

Wikipedia mentions "Railroad monkey wrenches" only as 6 foot long wrench "leverage bars", in which case, MSYN, I have one from the Union Pacific RR. I thought I already uploaded an image, ....
