Power wrench

A power wrench was a type of wrench that could be used in the maintenance of vehicles. In 32 BBY, one of the podracer Ody Mandrell's DUM-series pit droid maintenance team was carrying a power wrench when Mandrell pulled in for a pit stop at the Mos Espa Grand Arena during the second lap of the Boonta Eve Classic race on the planet Tatooine.

The droid carrying the wrench approached Mandrell in the podracer's cockpit, but before the team could begin repairs, their colleague DUM-4 was sucked into one of the engines of Manderell's podracer, destroying the engine and preventing the racer from further participating in the race.
