This tool was used in caulking wooden ships: one struck with a hammer on a breeuwijzer to drive fibers or caulking material into the gaps between the wooden planks. The metal rings at the ends reinforced the wood and helped prevent it from splitting.

Dit gereedschap werd gebruikt bij het breeuwen van houten schepen: men sloeg met de hamer op een breeuwijzer om vezels of breeuwmateriaal in de naden tussen de houten planken te drijven. De metalen ringen aan de uiteinden versterkten het hout en hielpen voorkomen dat het splijtte.
