How does a wedge work?
A wedge works by converting a force applied to its thick end into powerful, outward-acting forces along its sloped sides, acting like a moving inclined plane to split, separate, lift, or hold objects.

Wedges are among the earliest tools, with stone-age humans using them as knives and axes for hunting and building.
whats the main purpose?
the Wheel and Axle's purpose is to make work easier by lowering friction, adding force, or increasing distance
