Infinity Pinch Dogs – Clamp Where Other Woodworking Clamps Can’t Reach
When you're building chairs, curved cabinets, or tackling any project with angled or irregular joinery, standard clamps often fall short. That’s where Infinity Pinch Dogs come in—offering a simple, reliable clamping solution for tight spots where traditional clamps can't reach.
Why Pinch Dogs?
Most woodworkers have bar clamps, F-clamps, and pipe clamps at the ready. These tools work great when surfaces are flat and edges are parallel. But when you’re coopering a crest rail, building segmented panels, or working on non-square assemblies, you need a different kind of clamping force.
Infinity Pinch Dogs excel in these situations. Their compact size, angled legs, and ability to work from the end grain give you precise, reliable clamping power right where you need it.
Built for Performance
Each pinch dog is crafted from durable mild steel and features:
- Two tapered, angled legs that grip and pull joints tight
- A ¼" thick spine for serious holding power
- A 2" wide profile for optimal surface contact and leverage
This smart design focuses pressure directly into the joint, tightening pieces with surprising strength.
How to Use Infinity Pinch Dogs
Using pinch dogs is straightforward and effective:
-
Make your beveled or angled cuts and glue up your joint surfaces.
-
Press the parts together by hand to create a light bond.
-
Tap a pinch dog into the end grain across the glue line. The angled legs bite in and draw the joint tight.
-
For thicker stock or extra security, add another pinch dog on each side.
-
Flip the assembly and repeat the process on the opposite face.
-
Let the glue set, then trim the ends to remove the pinch dog entry points.
The result? A tight, clean joint—even in places where clamps can’t reach.
Small Tool, Big Results
Infinity Pinch Dogs may look unusual, but they deliver unmatched performance when it comes to tricky glue-ups. Whether you're working with curves, angles, or specialty joinery, these small clamping tools bring big benefits to your workflow.
