Bessey XV5-170 Spring Clamp 6.5 in Double Variable Jaw

Product Description

The BESSEY XV5-170 is a spring clamp designed for gripping, holding, and securing workpieces during assembly, gluing, or fabrication tasks. It features a double variable jaw profile that adapts to irregular or angled surfaces, making it useful across a range of material thicknesses up to 6.5 inches. The body, handle, and tip are all constructed from plastic, keeping the clamp lightweight at 0.45 pounds. With a 9-inch overall length and a 2-inch throat depth, this clamp provides reach into recessed areas without requiring a separate tool. Tradespeople and fabricators who need a no-marring, quick-release hold will find this clamp fits standard light-duty clamping workflows.

The XV5-170 is suited for use in woodworking, light fabrication, HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel staging, and general trade work where a temporary, hands-free hold is needed. The spring-loaded mechanism allows single-hand operation, which is practical in tight installation spaces. The plastic construction makes it appropriate for applications where metal clamp jaws could scratch or damage finished surfaces. It is sold individually and is a common addition to a technician or installer tool kit.

Key Features

• 6.5-inch jaw opening capacity handles a wide range of material thicknesses
• Double variable jaw shape conforms to angled and irregular surfaces
• 2-inch throat depth allows reach into recessed or deeper workpiece areas
• Full plastic construction — body, handle, and tip — prevents surface marring
• Spring-loaded design enables quick, single-hand operation
• Lightweight at 0.45 pounds for easy handling during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spring clamp suitable for light-duty clamping tasks across trade and fabrication applications where a 6.5-inch jaw opening and double variable jaw profile are required.

Installation Notes

No tools are required to operate this spring clamp. Squeeze the handles to open the jaws, position over the workpiece, and release to apply clamping pressure. Verify the jaw opening is appropriate for the material thickness before use. Do not exceed the rated jaw opening capacity, as overextending the spring mechanism can reduce clamping force over time.
