Wheel & Axle – On lawnmowers and wheelbarrow. Also, found in cabinet door glides and on appliances. Another common example – door knobs and even inside those locksets.

Lever – The bottle opener. Tools – the crowbar, and scissors or pliers. Double Levers – a door, a toilet seat, a broom.

Pulley – Old wood windows, some garage doors, workshop or garage lifting systems.

Wedge – The shim – used throughout the home in construction. For example, when installing doors, windows, cabinets, etc. Sometimes used to level furniture or chairs.
