podger (plural podgers)

   • 2006 April 18, Philip Beadle, “Mind maps: rubbish in theory, but handy in practice”, in The Guardian‎, →ISSN:

     There comes a time, when you are burning off bolts, when it is the only thing that will do. It's a useful tool, the podger, but, like the mind map, you shouldn't mistake it for a universal screwdriver.

     The podger is used for levering wedges and pins as required.

2. (slang) A hard blow.
