Lightweight trigger clamp for one-handed work
The Bessey EHKMICRO trigger clamp uses a composite plastic handle and steel bar to deliver a lightweight tool that can be operated with a single hand. This design leaves the other hand free to position material while the clamp secures it. The 1 5/8 in throat depth extends the reach beyond the jaws for a wider gripping range on the workpiece.
Sustained grip without hand fatigue
Under continuous clamping pressure the composite handle distributes force across the palm to reduce strain during extended use. The steel bar resists flex so the applied load remains consistent across the full throat depth. One-handed operation means the user can maintain alignment while the clamp holds, avoiding the need to switch tools mid-task.
Practical limits of the trigger-clamp format
The fixed throat depth caps the maximum workpiece thickness that can be reached from the edge. The trigger mechanism is designed for rapid engagement rather than the high torque of a screw clamp, so it suits temporary holds and light assembly. Orders of $75 or more ship free from the supplier.

Questions about this item
Does the Bessey EHKMICRO trigger clamp generate heat or noise during extended use?
No, the clamp is a manual hand tool with no motor or electronics, so it produces no heat or noise while you hold material in place.
What other tools or accessories must I already own for this clamp to work?
The clamp operates entirely by hand; no power source, air supply or additional hardware is required to use it.
Will the 1 5/8 in throat depth still clear workpieces when I keep my older bench dogs and hold-downs?
Yes, the fixed throat depth works independently of bench dogs or hold-downs, so you can combine it with existing fixtures without interference.
