Infinity Tools 2" Pinch Dogs, 12-Pc. Pack
Infinity Pinch Dogs – Clamp Where Other Woodworking Clamps Can’t Reach
In any woodworking shop, clamps come in all shapes and sizes, but few match the versatility and precision of the Infinity Pinch Dogs.
These unique end-grain clamping tools may look unconventional, but when it comes to holding tight during glue-ups—especially in hard-to-clamp situations—they deliver unmatched performance.
Each pinch dog is made from durable mild steel, measures 2 inches across, and features a ¼-inch thick spine, allowing for strong, focused clamping pressure right where you need it. They're ideal for projects where traditional clamps fall short, and they're conveniently sold in packs of 12.
While standard bar clamps work well when edges are parallel, the Infinity Pinch Dogs shine when clamping at an angle—like when coopering a crest rail, building curved panels, or assembling irregular joinery.
To use, simply make your beveled cuts, crosscut your parts slightly long, and glue the edges. Then gently tap the pinch dogs into the end grain, and the angled legs will pull the joint tightly together. For thicker stock, add a second pinch dog for extra holding power. Flip the assembly, repeat on the other side, and let your glue set.
Once dry, just trim the ends to remove the pinch dog entry points, and you’ll be left with a clean, solid glue-up—even in places where conventional clamping methods would struggle.
Whether you're building chairs, curved cabinets, or doing specialty woodworking, Infinity Pinch Dogs are an essential clamping solution for tight, reliable joints in difficult spots.
Product Specs:
- 2" wide with 1/4" thick spine
- Sold in packs of 12
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.
