The hell do you mean knock them out? I would have thought that if you hit it with wrench that you would be killing it. To hit something like that with a wrench and it not be dead is crazy.

If they can jump 5-10ft then I would be jumping 11-15ft. Just enough to stay out of the reach. Those things are scary.

HAHA I have seen one in person! One was in my garage when I was doing my head swap. It was not nearly that big though (two inches long)-got damn those are HUGE over there! The one in my garage got me startled a little bit. I put a glass jar over it to show my friend helping me and it stayed alive for four days.

I trapped it because I had no idea what it was. It does look like a cross between a scorpion, a wolf spider, and a tank. It has four pincher looking things for a mouth that they spread wide when threatened. Really nasty looking things, but like onyx said -pretty harmless. I didn't see any pinchers or stingers either. We don't even have camels here though...weird.

HOLY SHEEZIT! maybe I shouldn't have tried to catch it. It says here they are the fastest running arthropod and kill lizards to eat. That thing is definitely what I caught

Watch the video in here. It eats scorpions for lunch!
