This article is about the Engineer's stock melee weapon. For other wrenches, see Wrench (disambiguation).

“

I'm gonna beat you like a rented mule, boy! Click to listen — The Engineer

”

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 monkey wrench.

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 2.5 times as fast. This effect is additive 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.

Since the Gun Mettle Update, switching from this weapon to a different melee weapon will not destroy any existing buildings. There are however exceptions, for example switching to the Gunslinger will destroy an existing Sentry Gun.

• Building repair costs increased from 20 metal to 33 metal to repair 100hp per Wrench hit (from 5HP per metal to 3HP per metal).

Bugs

• With flipped viewmodels enabled, this weapon's robot head, of all types, will have its normals inverted, making it appear to be see through.

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 crit rate on melee weapons ranging from 15% to 65%, leads to misconceptions about the Wrench's "unnaturally high" crit rate.
• The in-game model for the Wrench is based on the original monkey wrench designed by the Coes company in the 19th century.
