About this item

  • As the old saying goes; “you can never have too many clamps” if you’re a woodworker. This holds especially true when it comes to achieving near seamless or tight fitting joinery. While using long bar clamps or pipe clamps to glue up panels will work, sometimes you may need a helping hand or “pinch” in certain cases to get the seem just right. Using pinch dogs to pull your or “pinch” the panel joint together is an old tried and true method that is still commonly used today.
  • Pinch dogs can be used in two basics ways. The most common method is to tap the pinch dog into the end grain of two boards with one of the points of the pinch dog on one board and the other point of the pinch dog on the other board. The pinch dog has two tapered points that pull the wood toward the center of the pinch dog as it is driven into the wood. The more you tap the pinch dog into the wood, the tighter the fit becomes.
  • The second method typically takes some planning to be sure that we are not marking up the good side of our workpiece. With your boards laying flat, tap a pinch dog into the flat side of your panel along the seem every couple of inches. Tap in as many as needed to achieve a tight fitting joint. This method is most commonly used on table tops where the pinch dog marks are either concealed by other project pieces or won’t be seen since the marks are out of plain view.
  • One of the great advantages that pinch dogs have over most any other clamping device is that they are a very economically priced clamp. Typically the come in multi packs which makes owning a lot of these little clamps much easier to swallow than having to cough of high dollars for pipe or bar clamps. Another great advantage is that pinch dogs are tiny in comparison to other clamps. When you’re not using them, simply place them in the corner of a drawer.
  • The Fulton Pinch Dogs are made from solid steel to ensure long lasting durability and each dog is lightly textured to provide some “bite” so they wont slip out like some of the coated versions you may find. Each pinch dog comes to a tapered point on each side to help pull your stock in toward the center of the pinch dog to give the best clamping results possible. Pack includes 10 each of the same size pinch dogs. Size denotes distance between tapered point tips.

Big Horn 19655 2-Inch Pinch Dogs, 6-Piece Set

Lets keep em' together

Many times when we want to hold two boards together we reach for large, cumbersome clamps. While clamps do work of course, there are times when the can be a little overkill. With the Fulton Pinch Dogs, you'll be able to simply tap a pinch dog over a seam between two boards and it will draw the two boards tightly together. You can also use pinch dogs in conjunction with clamps depending on the size of your project.

Textured Pinch Dogs

Many other pinch dog brands have a smooth surface. The Fulton Pinch dogs are textured and they are textured to help make sure that the pinch dog won't slip out once it is in the wood. Other brands tend to give and slip over time.

You can never have to many pinch dogs

The old saying goes something like; " you can never have to many clamps". Well, the same goes for pinch dogs, which are essentially clamps in a way. The more you have, the more boards you can "clamp" together to form a large panel.

WIDE FLAT TOP

We designed the pinch dog with a wide, flat top to offer more of striking surface when tapping it in.

TEXTURED SURFACE

The textured surface help keep the pinch dog from sliding or slipping out of the wood once it is tapped in.

TAPERED TEETH

Each pinch dog has two tapered teeth. The taper is on the inside of the pinch dog teeth. As you're tapping the pinch dog into the wood the tapered teeth draw the two sides toward the center of the pinch dog. This helps create a nice tight seam.

Easy to use. The angle is great, gets a nice squeeze. Slap them in with a hammer and pluck them out with a finger.
