Deep Reach Clamp for Angled Workpieces
The Bessey sliding arm locking clamp spans 11 inches and delivers 310 pounds of clamping force. Its J-shaped jaws and three inch throat depth reach over angles, channel iron or other obstructions. Adjustable screws with lock nuts set both pressure and jaw angle for a secure hold.
Limits of the Screw Adjust Mechanism
Pressure and jaw angle are set manually by turning screws and tightening lock nuts, so each repositioning requires deliberate hand adjustment. The plastic coated release lever unlocks the clamp quickly, but fine pressure changes still depend on screw turns rather than a ratchet or cam. Maximum capacity is four and a half inches, so thicker stock cannot be accommodated.
Hardened Chrome Vanadium Steel Construction
The clamp body is made from hardened chrome vanadium steel for strength and wear resistance. At 2.55 pounds it feels substantial in hand without being unwieldy. The 11 inch overall length provides leverage while the plastic coated lever protects fingers during release. Jaws clamp over irregular shapes, making the tool suited for fabrication, welding and maintenance tasks.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 11 inch pliers length or a different capacity for my project?
The 11 inch pliers length provides a 4-1/2 inch capacity and 3 inch throat depth for reaching over angles or channel iron.
What does the 310 lb clamping force deliver when the jaws are locked on a workpiece?
The 310 lb force is generated by hardened Chrome Vanadium steel jaws that adjust via screw mechanism with lock nuts for consistent pressure.
How does the J-shaped jaw design work with the screw mechanism to grip irregular shapes?
The J-shaped jaws clamp over angles and obstructions while the screw mechanism adjusts both clamping pressure and jaw angle precisely.
