Nail Clipper (Wedge+lever)

Compound Machine -- Nail Clipper
This nail clipper acts as a lever and a wedge to add up power to cut the nail easily.

Stapler (Lever & Wedge)


This stapler acts as both a third-class lever (the effort is the force exerted in the middle, and the fulcrum is the end of the stapler) and a wedge (the blade forces the staple through papers).
