Needle-Nose Spring Clamps
By Benjamen Johnson
If you need to clamp something in a hard-to-reach place, Bessey’s got your back with their Clippix needle-nose spring clamps. The clamp’s long, tapered nose reaches into deep or confined spaces, and the soft-touch pads provide a firm grip without marring the workpiece.
Bessey imports two Clippix XCL needle-nose spring clamps into the US. The 2″-clamping-capacity clamp measures 4″ long with a 1/4″ wide nose and a 2″ throat depth. The 3″-capacity clamp measures 8-1/2″ long with a 3/8″ nose and a 4″ throat depth. Bessey gives this model ergonomic dual-component handles for a firm grip.
The only pricing we could find was at Hartville Tool — they’re selling the 2″-capacity clamp for $4 and the 3″-capacity clamp for $5.

I’d like to see more pictures of the models this person is building.

The model looks to be the Wilesco D 10 Steam Engine with M 76 Carpenter and M 55 Countershaft.
