Not only can telkensis completly shut it down and turn it back towards them, if one closes the distance they are totally powerless. A player with sports boost can just run up to them and start smacking them with the wrench, and their only option is blow themselves up and most often they simply do nothing but try to run. This is probably why they were folded into leadhead splicers in the sequel (see above).
