After killing Lee, she picks the wrench up again to put down his third minion, breaking his arm and then knocking him unconscious on the backswing.

He also doubles as ImprobableWeaponUser since the wrench mace wasn't supposed to be a weapon, but rather a tool for repairing mobile suits.

Wrenches are tools often associated with TheEngineer, MrFixit and the WrenchWench, using them to build and repair objects, whether by tightening bolts or PercussiveMaintenance. Like other tools used in construction ([[DropTheHammer hammers]], {{nail|Em}}guns, etc.), wrenches [[ImprovisedWeapon can be very effective weapons]], even by the ImprobableWeaponUser.

* Deconstructed in ''Fanfic/TorqueJakAndDaxter''. A wrench used on a normal person might do some damage, but trying to use it against monsters like Metal Heads doesn't go as well. Keira nearly gets herself killed when she goes out on her first mission for the Underground armed with only a wrench. She promptly gets a gun from Tess after that.
