Product Description
Power-Loc™ Bench Connector Dogs
Simply the best all-in-one solution for connecting 20mm worktops
Watch this video to see how easily you can extend and connect your 20mm worktops with Bench Connecting Dogs.
The latest addition to our growing line of Bench Connectors, Power‑Loc Dogs feature a patent-pending innovative cam action and swiveling locking lug that eliminates the need to use a clamping knob from beneath your workbench. Simply insert the Power-Loc Dog through the top of a chamfered 20mm dog hole, turn the socket head cap screw clockwise, and watch as the locking lug rotates outward and secures your worktops together. Power-Loc Bench Connector Dogs feature a total stock thickness capacity range from 30mm (1-3/16") to 40mm (1-9/16").
Picking the Right Bench Connector
While simple clamps can be used to layer and secure 20mm work surfaces, we're partial to Bench Connector Dogs for two main reasons: they provide precision registration and alignment of your work surfaces, and they apply strong clamping pressure without taking up valuable space on your worktop. Power-Loc Dogs, similar to our Smart Connect Dogs, are designed with a chamfered lip to sit flush or slightly below your work surface.
The advantage of Power-Loc Dogs come in their self-contained clamping method. Rather than requiring an M8x1.25 clamping knob be attached and secured from underneath the table, Power-Loc Dogs are secured from the top of the table by way of an 5mm hex key or 5mm hex driver. This above-table clamping action may be preferred if the underside of your table is obscured, or if you don't wish to purchase or store additional clamping knobs.
Avoid over-torquing the Power-Loc Dog; a "snug fit" of the locking lug against the bottom work surface is all that is required.
To flush mount Power-Loc Dogs, you will need to chamfer the 20mm holes on your work surface. We recommend using a trim router with a quality 45˚ chamfer bit, as this allows you to perfectly adjust the depth of the chamfer to match these bench dogs for sale. We do not recommend using the fixed-cut-depth of the UJK Chamfer Tool which is not suitable for plywood.

A high-quality product that expands my MFT possibilities --without getting in the way.

Power loc bench connector dogs
I love these things. I wasn’t sure how handy they would be and bought them on a lark. Now I use them all the time whenever I need to temporarily attach things to my homemade MFT! I need to get a couple more.

Power-loc DOGS
I bought 12 of these about 6 months ago. I have just purchase 36 more between a friend and me. I think that speaks about my attitude about the product. As a "zero profile" clamp for benchtop attachment, they are peerless.

Power lock bench connector dog
I have used and own at least 6 of the smart connect bench connectors with the knob and they work great and have their place on a bench. However for me and the way I like to work the Power lock bench connector dog is my new favorite and far exceeded my expectations. Great work on this product and keep up the great innovative products.

Solid solution
Great means to lock 3/4” to 3/4” surfaces securely and without obstruction. Would love to see this style of dog with the ability to connect 3/4” tops to 1 1/2” frames.

Ingenious idea
This gadget is not a dog but a connector clamp fixture that opens up a whole host of new applications similar to using fixtures on a welding table....

Good product/poor shipping
Happy with the product but for some reason my delivery got delayed. Tracking kept saying it was in the area and was going to be delivered but never arrived. Then next thing I know it says my package is on the other side of the country. Emailed TSO and told Fed/ex tracking was wrong but it wasnt. Looks like TSO had to ship it out again. While I understand that delivery is out of TSO's control it would have been nice if there was some effort made to reship with some type of expedited method to make it right. So plan ahead.
