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 Template:W.
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 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 a 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
April 29, 2008 Patch (Gold Rush Update)
- Added new swing animations.
- Engineers who hit teammate Sentry Guns with their Wrench now get kill assists from that Sentry Gun.
- Fixed melee attacks not destroying remote detonation pipes (Stickybombs).
Bugs
- When the Strange version of this weapon is traded, it keeps the kills on the secondary counter.
Trivia
- Per the Sentry Instruction Manual, the Wrench's full name is the "Uhlman Build-Matic Wrench".
- 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 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 on the original Template:W designed by Charles Moncky in the 19th century.
