Good luck with HF, have seen a few oddball things there, but not those
wedges. Here's the MSC catalog page, upper right:

They're wedges, NOT an automotive pickle fork.


They do seem to be referred to as pickle forks anyway. :-)

And they *are* forked to pass either side of the taper.

Note that there are four different sets (IIRC) for different
sizes of Jacobs taper -- and some tapers require one fork from each of
two different sets. So -- until you know what the taper is, you may or
may not be able to figure out which set you need.

Good Luck,
DoN.
