It seems like a missed opportunity for the engineer class I would have loved to have a heroic skinned repair tool with a unique execution
Or maybe the repair tool could cause little damage to the enemy!? 
I know it did do damage in gears 4 I’m not sure if it does in gears 5 and it would be cool if the robotics expert could repair his DB and by doing so extend his ult time
It does. Little…
It still does damage like it did in 4. But it’s barely anything.
Isn’t it the same as the grenade-execution?
Still enough to kill a kestrel 
I think you just punch the drone (tap B) till his head pops off
Oh, so it’s the default snub exe.
I would also love if they made it that the engineer classes use fabricator power first for repairs and upgrades
It never comes to visit me in a way where that would work.
It works…just not too efficiently lol you have to wait until its really low
Maybe make it like a mini-scorcher?
But make the damage far more than the scorcher as the repair tool is primarily used for welding operations (Blue flame for welding = Higher Temperature)
So make it more powerful than the scorcher and reduce its range considerably.
And add a twist : Repair tool doesn’t harm DeeBee’s, it instead heals them. So we can only use this on Swarm.
That sounds like an excellent idea and if you repair a silver back it should extend the pilots ult another idea would be if you can send your trackers out to collect power on the field
