Questions & Answers

Are these spring clamps manufactured in the country where Bessey is located?

From a random sample of 3, I have found no indication of the country of origin. I have 24 of these and looked at a random sample of 3. There is only a Bessey logo and XM5 and 2" stamped on the side. My experience with them is that they are quality clamps and I prefer them to older Pony/Jorgensen clamps and certainly to HF clamps.

Selected User Reviews For BESSEY TOOLS XM-5 2", Light Duty, General Purpose Steel Spring Clamp

The clamp tag I had says the jaw length is 57mm, or 2 1/4 inches, and the length of the movable jaws is 50mm, or 2 inches
3/5

While it may indeed open wider, the jaws would no longer be parallel, which makes fighting the springs a little more.

This was purchased to hold Olympic plates on an axle barbell with a 2 inch diameter. This is a good choice.

A clamp is a very sturdy device
3/5

In my experience, these clamps work as they should, but they require two hands to open and close I have to use a joint grabber when I do so.

I have a hard time opening it
5/5

Why is it impossible to open a pair of spring clamps unless you are a body builder? It used to be that this clamp type could be used for so many purposes, but suddenly the powers that be decided that there were no ordinary people to buy from them.

Those are some good clamps
5/5

To install a tonneau cover, I bought these. As I was installing hardware on a truck, I needed them to hold the rails in place. I was really pleased with their performance.

I am very pleased with my The items I ordered were more than suitable for my needs in my day-to-day life The entire kitchen was remodeled by me
5/5

As a result of the purchase of 2 and the addition of 6 in my cart, I am able to fabricate my countertops efficiently. The price of less than 3 bucks was not what I expected (I've spent much more on tools recently that fall apart from the first use), but they work well. There are times when the rubber tips fall off, but they can be fixed with some glue. Great quality. I'm very happy with it.

This clamp is solid
5/5

This clamp provides ample force and is made of good materials. In my current position at work, I use it to stop doors from closing. I set it up to have access and egress points, and the turnouts attach easily to it.
