Umm, where has this item been found? Is it even in the game? It's certainly not in the Mann Co. catalog. Any clarification would help, I'm confused about this item! [[User:Evang7|Evang7]] 06:52, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

:Maybe we should add it to the [[unused content]] page, as nothing links to this page currently.

== Original Author and Future Inclusion Confirmation ==
 
 
 
I've received a PM at FPSBanana from the original author of the model, Jman. He confirmed that he submitted the model via the Contribute! site a while ago and sent me [http://www.cubeupload.com/files/52cf41robbin.png a picture of an email conversation] he had with Robin about it. I've included this information on the page and am awaiting his response to asking for his Steam Community ID. Reorganize the information if need be; I don't make edits of this scale very often. {{n}}[[User:Shugo|Shugo]] 16:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

== Little Competition ==
 
What about we try to give Jag Stats?
 
 
 
Maybe some of ours will be used and Jag finaly go in-game :3
 
Something like this:
 
{|

| item-name = Jag
 
| item-name-local = Jag
 
| quality = Unique
 
| item-level = Level 10 Jag
 
| att-1-positive = +20% Hit speed
 
| att-2-negative =  3 hits needed to destroy sapper
 
| width = 350px
 
 
}}
 
}}

==Possible stats==
 
I was talking to a guy that (claimed anyway) to have made the backpack icon for this wrench. When I asked about the stats he said they were undecided but it was supposed to be an offensive wrench. The pointed tip on the top could suggest it is used for impaling, maybe with longer swing time? [[User:Tryer|Tryer]] 19:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:Well Valve decide the stats, not the modellers or backpack icon makers. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 19:55, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:What if you use it to upgrade buildings to level four but you can't build buildings when its equipped.  [[User:Vetterlinj|Vetterlinj]] 05:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
==Bug==
 
 
I've tested this with another person on a server and submitted it to the wiki under the bugs section but ti was removed, so I would be appreciative if anyone else could test for me as well. It seems that when you use the Jag to build a building, it makes no difference to building speed. We counted down and dropped sentries at identical times and raced each other.  The first time, we pounded the sentries with wrenches to make them build faster, me with the jag, he with a regular wrench. Both sentries erected and were online at the same time. During the second test, we just let the sentry build up on its own, and the result was the same. Both sentries erected in the same amount of time.
 
 
If your testing confirms this, please add the bug section back. <small>--''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' [[User:Palehorse864|Palehorse864]] ([[User talk:Palehorse864|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Palehorse864|contribs]]) </small>
 
 
: The speedup effect is there, but it's barely noticeable. Tried it with a dispenser, took 13 hits to build with the wrench and 11 with the jag. --[[User:Sky|Sky]] 18:33, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I've also run some tests, while they sentry takes the same amount of time while not-hitting, the difference between hitting is about 1 second (6s regular wrench-5s Jag) Dispensers also make 1s difference (11s regular, 10s Jag). It is rounded though, there could be some small time mistake. --[[User:Warudragon|Warudragon]] 14:49, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I saw an edit that it only reduced build time by 15%, then I saw it gone. So I decided to try this one for myself. I've done five tests. The first being a fresh dispenser timed on a stopwatch as soon as I deployed it. I came up with around 9.23 seconds, which is awfully close to the 9.35 I've calculated as 85% of the 11 of the normal wrench. If I'm not mistaken it should be building closer to 7.7 seconds. The second test was with another fresh dispenser, but I started timing the first time the Jag hit the dispenser instead of as soon as it was deployed. I came up with about 9.1 seconds or so, so even cutting out the initial time it's not sped up didn't work. The third was a redeployed dispenser which came out to 5.01 seconds, instead of a 4.2. The other two were just controls. A fresh dispenser, and redeployed dispenser, both with the regular wrench. The former coming out to about 11.36 and the latter coming out to about 5.35. It might also be interesting to note that 85% of 13, referring to Sky's previous post, is approximately 11. Knowing that both wrenches take 8/10 of a second to complete, it would naturally give a similar result. [[User:Unit880|Unit880]] 11:36, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
::You're improperly calculating increased construction speed; you wouldn't subtract 30% of the construction time off of 11---the 30% is tossed in with the initial 90% boost, therefore, you'd divide 21 (default construction time) by 2.2 to arrive at what the jag's construction time *should* be, which, in this case, is 9.54 seconds...very close to your original calculations. If you factor in that this is how the 30% speed up is calculated, then I think you'll find the weapon/tool is functioning fully as intended--it's just a really crummy boost (subjective evaluation on my behalf).--[[User:Fox McCloud|Fox McCloud]] 05:17, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
::: 90%? Where does this number come from? --[[User:Vaught|<span style="text-shadow:pink 0px 0px 3px;"><font color=" #FFA6C9"><tt><big>'''Vaught'''</big></tt></font>]]</span> 06:25, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
::: Ah, I see. But I'm wondering where this 90% came into play as well. [[User:Unit880|Unit880]] 06:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
:::: The 90% increase in construction speed is the default wrench's construction rate when you bang on a sentry/dispenser/teleporter.--[[User:Fox McCloud|Fox McCloud]] 20:02, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
::::: Oh, now I see my error. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was just confused because I never saw any explanation for removing the previous in here and it seems I fell into the same hole as whoever posted that did. I suppose I just desperately wanted to believe it was broken. [[User:Unit880|Unit880]] 20:28, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 
::::: 90%? The wrench cuts construction time down by half when using it on a constructing building, stated [[Buildings#Buildings|here]]. This would make the default 50%, wouldn't it? --[[User:Vaught|<span style="text-shadow:pink 0px 0px 3px;"><font color=" #FFA6C9"><tt><big>'''Vaught'''</big></tt></font>]]</span> 13:32, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== How does it work? ==
 
 
So, does it only speed up the building, or does it affect upgrading or repairing? [[User:Aggregation|Aggregation]] 19:50, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
It's meant to speed up the build and redeployed of a building, but it seems broken or needs a buff. because it seems to be the same speed as the wrench in my testing. [[User:Rocketlawnchair|Rocketlawnchair]] 02:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
:Were you actually hitting the building, Lawn?  It doesn't speed up the building if you aren't striking it. [[User:Zoolooman|Zoolooman]] 02:30, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 
::yeah it hit it.
 
 
== I cannot edit this page. ==
 
 
Why can't we edit this page? I was going to add that it cannot be crafted. [[User:Serrix|Serrix]] 17:55, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 
:The page was protected back in October to prevent speculation being written - the jag had no stats, it was unintentionally slipped into the game.  I've unprotected the page now, edit all you like :D. -[[User:RJackson|<span class="modbg" style="margin-right:1px;text-shadow: #538237 1px 1px 0px;">RJ</span>]]<span class="modbg" style="margin-right:1px;text-shadow: #538237 1px 1px 0px;">s</span> 18:09, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
