wedger

Tool for jamming

A wedger is a tool or device used for driving wedges, or a person who does such work.

In ceramics, a wedger (or pug mill) is a machine that kneads clay to remove air bubbles and achieve uniform consistency before throwing or shaping.

The term occasionally appears for anyone who wedges themselves or something else into a tight space.
