Wrench (GregTech 5)

Recipe
The general Wrench recipe is as follows:

Wrenches can be made from almost any material that is recognised by GregTech, for example, Iron, Aluminium and even Thaumium from Thaumcraft. However, you will need to replace all of the iron ingots with whatever material you choose.

Like all GregTech tools, the material used in making the wrench will affect its durability. Some materials might give the wrench some additional properties.

Crafting Recipes
Wrenches are used in many GregTech crafting recipes. Here is an example:

Do note that wrenches used in crafting recipes will take durabilility damage but will not be consumed unless its durability reaches zero in which case the wrench will break.

Picking up machines
Wrenches are the only tool which can pick up GregTech machines. Simply left-click until the machine "breaks".

Note that:
 * GregTech machines not mined with a wrench will not be dropped. In some cases, the machines might explode.
 * IC2 wrenches will not work with GregTech machines.
 * GregTech wrenches will work with IC2 machines.

Rotating the output side
If you have CodeChickenLib installed and you mouseover any GregTech machine while holding a wrench in your hand, you should see a grid similar to the one below show up.



As you can see the machine face is divided into 9 sections as shown below:



You cannot rotate the front of the machine; so make sure to place the machine so that the front is facing the proper direction.

You can then right-click on the different sections so to move the output to whichever direction you want:
 * Section 5 (the center) will move the output to the side facing you.
 * Sections 1,3,7,9 (the corners) will move the output to the opposite side from where you are standing.
 * Sections 2,4,6,8 (the sides) will move the output to the side corresponding to the direction indicated by the section. Say you are looking from the front of the machine and you right-click section 2. The output will go to the top of the machine.

Do note that you can disable the output side. Simply try to move the output of the machine to the front. For example, you can face the front of the machine and right-click section 5.

Rotating the machine
In Gregtech 5 Unofficial, holding Shift while right-clicking will rotate the front of the machine to that direction, rather than its output side. Since a machine's front side cannot connect to power cables or item pipes, this gives you an easy way to re-orient a machine for better automation without needing to break it and place it again.
