When an incline is moved, it is called a wedge. Wedges can be used to split or attach things. For example, wedges can be used to split tree stumps. A splitting wedge contains two inclines, and it is hit with a hammer. 

Many sharp implements that are used as tools are wedges. These include the knife, the chisel and the axe.


Wood can be split with tools that use wedges.

A door stop can also make use of a wedge. When an incline is pushed under a door, it raises the door a little bit and is stuck under the door's weight. This helps the door to stay put.

A door stop can be shaped like a wedge.
