A Maddock.
If Wikipedia had done more research, they would have found that there are TWO spellings regarding the Tool. In the Mountains, we call IT and spell it - MADDOCK. Perhaps it depends on the region of the Country that One lives in.
Lowes still sells Maddocks. I have one that my Father gave me many years ago. BTW, do you own one. They can be used in many ways.So? Another person propagating a commonly misspelled word, probably because it doesn't get used much these days.
