The Wrench is the melee weapon of the Engineer. Its primary function is the upgrade and repair of Dispensers, Teleporters, and Sentry Guns, as well as being a melee weapon. In addition, while placed buildings will construct themselves, striking them with the Wrench will cause them to build twice as fast as leaving them alone. This effect stacks with each additional Engineer striking the building with their Wrench during construction. The Wrench may also be used to remove the Spy's Electro Sappers, and is a formidable melee weapon. Its Critical hit animation is a swing from right to left. Equipping the Gunslinger or the Southern Hospitality will destroy all existing buildings.

Trivia

- Because of this statistically higher Crit rate, unfortunate victims have dubbed the weapon "The Crit Wrench", sometimes abbreviated to "Crench".
- The in-game model for the Wrench is based off the original monkey Wrench, designed by Charles Moncky in the 19th century, not the Stillson and crescent wrenches we associate with the phrase today.
