Which would you rather find on day one? A wrench or a water purifier mod?

Water purifier. A wrench will be handy later but at the start I like to rush quests and wrenching slows that down. Meanwhile water purifier would speed me up.
 
Either or tbh, but let's say purifier. Not in a hurry to wrench anything, and I guess there's a hole for it in my primitive gimp mask.
 
Key phrase in your question, "on day one". Purifier without question. Curious though, why use a wrench for the comparison? Why not a cooking pot or 20K Dukes?

Either one, both can be used. As I head toward the first trader.
Risking a potential nerf or reduction in resources. Day 1 I always get a cooking pot and a grill,
and since I pass more than enough, kitchens I get enough water for a full day.

One of the most abundant resources in the forest is the red yellow and white plants.
If a player does not simply bypass them, and they don't consider it as an inconvenient time sink.

I punch all of the flowers, en-route to Rekt, and check all of the garbage, and scrounge all of the
kitchens I pass, usually by 1pm to 3 pm day one, I have enough to buy a pot and a grill, and enough
meat, and feathers, so that my next task is simply a takeover for a poi. Depending on how much time is
spent traveling in a line to the trader, a player can have approx 1200 to 3 k to make day 1 night choices
easier. This is on 2 hour day, so at 1 hour it would probably be near sunset, so I can see that being a harder
choice. They lowered the value of the plants by half before, hope this does not become a prompt to lower
it still.
 
I have found the Water Purifier Mod early. Used it for a bit, but perfer the buffs and duration of the drinks. I generally sell them.
 
I would go with the water purification mod. You can craft a wrench cheaply early on, but the ability to drink water from any water source without getting dysentery is very valuable, especially for melee players.
 
Wrench, because after I do my first initial quest and head to the trader, I'm looting trash piles, cars on the way to the trader. Once at the trader I loot everything that I can and usually make enough from my looting to sale and buy a cooking pot and sometimes a grill. So, water isn't an issue then. Plus, being able to wrench items early on really helps with acquiring the materials for building and crafting items like the dew collector and so on.
 
I'd prefer the wrench. A water purifier mod is handy for the first day or two, but not really necessary.
 
Wrench. No doubt about it. I never use the water purifier, and a wrench on day one means a trifecta of crafting/gathering stations on day one.
 
Wrench, because soon as a cooking pot is obtained, water is effectively solved, even in a co-op group (which is how I usually play)
