The Powerjack is a melee weapon for the Pyro class. It is comprised of an automobile jack with a team-colored car battery strapped to its base.

This weapon deals more damage compared to the default Fire Axe, making it the most powerful melee weapon. Upon gaining a kill with the Powerjack, the player is awarded 75 health. Should the Pyro be missing less than 75 health at the time, the remainder will be filled and the excess will be given as overheal. Max overheal cannot exceed the Pyro's normal maximum overheal of 260 health.

Trivia

• Similar to the Homewrecker, the Powerjack can also be used with any achievements requiring the use of an Axe.
• The Powerjack does not need to land the killing blow on an enemy, or even hit the enemy at all for its healing factor to activate, it merely needs to be the Pyro's current weapon when the kill is achieved. For example, if a Pyro lights an enemy on fire with the Flamethrower and then switches to the Powerjack before the enemy is killed by the Afterburn, the Pyro will be healed for 75 Health. It is unknown whether this was intentional or a bug.
• With the addition of the Mann-conomy update, seven classes are now capable of healing themselves. The Scout (with Mad Milk), the Soldier (through successful hits with the Black Box), the Pyro (by killing an enemy with the Powerjack), the Heavy (with his edible devices), the Demoman (decapitating enemies while having at least 4 heads), the Engineer (building a Dispenser), and the Medic (passive healing, successful hits with the Blutsauger, or the Oktoberfest taunt).
