The Wrench is the default melee weapon of the Engineer.
The primary function of the 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 the Spy's Electro Sappers from buildings.
The Wrench's Critical hit animation is a swing from right to left.
Switching from the Wrench to a different melee weapon will destroy all existing buildings.

Update history
- Added new swing animations.
- Engineers who hit teammate Sentry Guns with their Wrench now get kill assists from that sentry.
Trivia
- Per the Sentry Instruction Manual, the Wrench's full name is the "Uhlman Build-Matic Wrench".
- Because damage dealt by Sentry Guns increases the Engineer's Critical hit chance, the 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 off the original Template:W, designed by Charles Moncky in the 19th century.
