The Tide Turner is a community-created secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is a worn-down ship steering wheel.
It functions similarly to the Chargin' Targe; However, it also gives full turning control while charging, and any kills obtained while charging will instantly replenish the charge meter. Like the Demoman's other shields, it provides passive resistances to both fire and explosive damage.
The Tide Turner was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Wheel of Misfortune".

- Charge Damage: 50 melee damage (if shield connects with enemy at the end of the charge - 0 otherwise) + 10 per head (up to 5 heads).
- Mini-crit charge damage: 68 (if shield connects with enemy at the end of the charge - 0 otherwise) + 13 per head (up to 5 heads).
- The shield damage is affected by weapon damage spread, it is not a constant number.
- Charge Speed: 750 Hammer units/sec, or 250%.
- Charge Speed: 637.5 Hammer units/sec with Scotsman's Skullcutter equipped, or 213%.

- Charge Interval: 0 seconds when a melee kill or shield bash kill is made during the charge
