Pincer Point (85°34′S 150°30′W) is a narrow rock point lying 4 nautical miles (7 km) east-southeast of Durham Point, near the northwest end of the Tapley Mountains. First seen and roughly mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928-30. So named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) because its appearance is similar to a part of a pincers.
