WEDGE

$7.45

Description

Force Application: Wedges are primarily employed to apply force in a specific direction, typically by being driven or forced into a narrow gap or crevice.
Simple Design: Wedges are typically triangular or wedge-shaped in design, with a wide base, tapering to a narrow point, allowing them to be inserted easily into tight spaces.
Mechanical Advantage: When a wedge is driven into a gap, it applies lateral force to the sides of the gap, causing them to separate or exert pressure against an object, thereby providing mechanical advantage.
Versatile Applications: Wedges find application in various fields, including construction, woodworking, metalworking, automotive, and even in everyday household tasks.
Maintenance: Wedges require minimal maintenance, primarily cleaning and occasional sharpening if they are bladed, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
