Wrench

The Wrench is a basic close-range, melee weapon that can also be used as a tool for activating Bolt Cranks, among other things. There are several forms of wrench found across both the Solana and Bogon galaxies, and some versions were also developed by Vox Industries in the Shadow Sector. Ratchet is well-known for always carrying his trusty wrench, which has changed several times throughout his adventures.

Ratchet initially carried a Gadgetron OmniWrench 8000, although during his time in the Bogon Galaxy replaced it with two more powerful wrenches, the Carbonox UltraWrench 8500 and the Carbonox Wrench 9000, on Tabora and Aranos, respectively. He then held onto his OmniWrench 10K during his return to the Solana Galaxy and his time as a DreadZone contestant. While in DreadZone, Ratchet acquired several new, even stronger wrenches, Versa-Wrench Lite, Versa-Wrench Multicore, Versa-Wrench Striker, Fission Lance and Obsidian Blade. However, he then seemed to return to using the OmniWrench 10K, for his later adventures.

Another wrench of note is the flaming second wrench that forms part of the Infernox Armor found inside Inferno Crates. This wrench is considerably more powerful than Ratchet's regular one and sets fire to anything it touches.

Trivia

 * The names of the two wrench upgrades in Going Commando were never explicitly stated in the game; however, they were theorized to be the OmniWrench 9000 and OmniWrench 10000 by fans. As Ratchet's wrench in Size Matters is called the OmniWrench 10K, it can be assumed that these are indeed their official names.
 * Confusingly, although Ratchet's Wrench in Size Matters is called the OmniWrench 10K, it resembles his standard OmniWrench 8000 from the first game.
