A pipe wrench is a tool used in plumbing and as a short blunt weapon.

Usage

Plumbing

Main article: Plumbing

The pipe wrench is primarily used to plumb water fixtures (sink) with a water source (rain collector barrel).

Weapon

The pipe wrench can be used as a weapon, which has similar stats to the hammer.

Breaking doors

The pipe wrench does 10 damage per hit to a door.

Condition

The pipe wrench has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (25 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and short blunt skills.

*For how this is calculated, see: Condition*
Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Condition lower chance
0	0	1/25 (4%)
0	4	1/27 (4%)
0	8	1/29 (3%)
4	0	1/29 (3%)
8	0	1/33 (3%)
4	4	1/31 (3%)
4	8	1/33 (3%)
8	8	1/37 (3%)
10	10	1/39 (3%)

Repairing

The pipe wrench cannot be repaired.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.
