  ALUMINUM WEDGES

Updated March 6, 2019

Aluminum wedges have a variety of uses. They can be used to tighten up small spaces between step chocks and unstable vehicles, they can be used to drive into cracks to enlarge them for the insertion of pry bars, and they can be used as a cutting / prying tool when attached to a Halligan tool.
