xkcd #3239: Simple Machines

Title text:

It’s hard to decide which simple machine system to invest in. DeWalt makes a great lever and inclined plane, but I hear Milwaukee’s wheel-and-axles are really good.

      I seem to remember wedge was basically an inclined plane, and a screw was an inclined plane wrapped around an axle. Also a pulley is a specific application of wheel and axle.

        But is a lever an adjustable inclined plane, or is it a specific application of a wheel and axel?
