Frequently Asked Questions

How deep is the reach on the Bessey XCRU5?

The XCRU5 has a 4" deep reach, letting you clamp well in from the edge of a panel or assembly to access hard-to-reach spots. See more clamping tools.

Can the clamp be released with one hand?

Yes. It features a release mechanism that offers easy one-hand release, along with quick one-handed clamping attachment, which is helpful when your other hand is holding the workpiece.

What is the Bessey XCRU5 made of?

It is built with heavy-duty resin construction, making it durable and dependable for everyday shop use.

What kind of jobs is this clamp best for?

It is great for light-duty jobs where you want more clamping force than a traditional spring clamp, but not as much as a bar clamp. For heavier glue-ups, see our bar clamps.

How is a ratcheting spring clamp different from a regular spring clamp?

A ratcheting spring clamp lets you build up a firmer grip than a standard spring clamp through its ratcheting action, while still releasing easily with one hand. It fills the gap between a basic spring clamp and a bar clamp.

Is the clamp easy to use?

Yes. It provides a firm grip with quick clamping attachment and easy one-hand release, making it easy to use, durable, and always useful in an active shop.

Who makes this clamp?

It is made by Bessey, a well-known clamp manufacturer. Browse our full range of clamping tools for more options.

Will it leave marks on my workpiece?

The clamp provides a firm grip for light-duty tasks; for delicate surfaces you may want to add protective pads as you would with any clamp. Explore our clamping tools for accessories.

Can I use several of these together?

Yes. Because they clamp and release quickly with one hand, they are convenient to use in pairs or sets across an assembly. Pair them with vises for added workholding.

Does this clamp work for hard-to-reach areas?

Yes, that is its specialty. The 4" deep-reach jaw is designed for hard-to-get-to projects where a standard-reach clamp cannot grip in from the edge.
