Q: What size hole do I need to drill?

This bench dogs system needs a 3/4" hole, which can be drilled vertically or horizontally in the benchtop.

Q: Will brass dogs damage my tools if I hit them?

No, brass is softer than steel edge tools, so it won't dull or chip a blade that brushes against it the way a steel dog might.

Q: Can I adjust how far the dog sits above the bench?

Yes, the side spring holds the dog at whatever projection you slide it to, from flush to fully extended.

Q: What's the difference between these and the shorter Bench Pups?

Bench dogs are 4 3/8" long for general benchtop use, while the shorter 2 3/8" Bench Pups are sized for bench sides where clearance is tighter; pick pups if your bench apron is shallow.
