Alxy's weapon
monkey wrench: No
tire iron: No
socket wrench: Yes!

So we,ve confirmed that this is a socket wrench. great...
I still think the crowbar 0wns that wrench. although... the wrench from Op4 was cool.
btw the wrench from Op4 was a monkey wrench.(a new wrench to argue about)

The one in OP4 was a pipe wrench... Probibly one of those 24 inch 10 pound ones. That could do some serious hurting.

pfft.. socket wrench ain't gonna kill no aliens. They aren't that heavy. Even the heavy duty ones arent that heavy. Not enough power.

Now big-ass crowbars on the other hand, those are heavy and can really **** someone up :X

First off: IT IS A RETCHET OR SOCKET WRENCH!

Ratchet wrenches need different sized sockets to be attached to it according to the size of the "bolt" or "Nut" that you or Alyx are trying to screw in or un-screw.

The Creator of the Ratchet wrench was a man by the name of Robert Owen, Jr (1881 - 1956). Owen received a patent on September 9, 1913. U. S. Patent number 1,072,980.

Look here at: http://www.armstrongtools.com/catalog/products.jsp?groupID=4

They show a picture of a smaller version of Alyx wrench.

These wrench come in 3 different Socket sizes are used through out the world.

1. - Milimeters
2. - Inches
3. - Combinded

I have personally have had long use with a ratchet wrench and I feel that it is jus as deadly towards monster as a crowbar would. Alyx wrench has a heavy blunt end which would be good for cracking skulls and knocking out victims.

personally i think she looks sexier with the little ratchet wrench.i mean...if she had some big crowbar it would be ok but that little wrench....oh God,I'de pay for some nice poses with that thing.Yes...Alyx.....baby....OK OK sorry ill stop there.

But seriously,how is a little cutie gonna swing that big bad crowbar?the wrench is probably easier to ....... manuever.she might fix things with it too.

 

[SirMcNugget]

She has a robot, do you think it just takes care of, or built its self. Heck no. I dont think shes gona use it for combat.

 

[Guest]

exactly that robot dog needs lovin too

Yeah, the Op4 one is similar to the one commonly called a monkey wrench.
A drawing:

Also known from the title of the famous and highly acclaimed book I never read:

For the record, I'm not sure if and monkey wrenches are featured in the book.

BTW, why was the pipe-wrench even in Op4?? it was so useless! i think it had within 20% the same damage as the knife, but was like 4 times slower... !?!?!?
Anyway,

I was known by the alias 'TorqueWrench' for quite some time, quake2 and b5,6,7 CS. Sometime during that, I looked one up, and lo... it's a fairly gay looking implement. So, I'm TorqueWrench no longer, now going by slightly less immasculating and stupid a name (hah hah hah. who am i kidding).

I would agree that it is most likley the case that Alyx has the wrench for repair work on DOG.

Does anyone remember the scene in Day of the Dead (the one in the shopping centre) where the goodie uses the screwdriver on the zombie ? That was one of my favourite scenes from the old time zombie flicks. *hint hint valve

Personally I think valve should go into tool manufacturing. I can see a freeman range of tools hitting the hardware shore shelves anyday now. You never know when a bright shinny crowbar will come in handy.

i think it would be sweet to be able to just pick up anything and use it as a weapon... i mean... rocks, hammers, rotten apples, zombie heads, toothbrushes, chainsaws, dirty laundry, liquer bottles, chopsticks, broken furniture, hedge clippers, cases of cheap icelandic import singles... and just use them until they broke, or you found something better. Actually, i bet that would make a killer mod, since im well nigh positive that you wont be able to in the game proper.

day of the dead. sweet movie. need to re-watch, /methinks.

Op4 wrench useless?! My god, I killed over 3/4 of the baddies with that thing! Just lure some alien over a corner and welcome him with a wrench. It'd even kill those shocktrooper pests.

 

[kelisis]

LOL, man o man....4 pages about wrenchs and bolts.....I love these forums!
