24-Inch Bar Clamp with Spreading Function
The BESSEY EZS60-8 is a 24-inch bar clamp designed for carpentry and metalworking tasks. It delivers up to 445 lb of clamping force and converts to a spreader for securing workpieces at various angles. A two-component plastic handle provides a comfortable grip during heavy use. The clamp adjusts from 6 1/2 inches to 24 inches with a spreading range up to 31 1/2 inches.
Upgrade from Fixed-Capacity Clamps
This tool replaces separate clamps and spreaders by combining both functions in one unit. The jump is worthwhile when you regularly switch between clamping and spreading on the same project. It suits users who need variable capacity up to 24 inches without owning multiple fixed-size tools. Buyers who require capacity beyond 24 inches or higher force ratings should look elsewhere.
Simple One-Handed Setup
The single-handed mechanism allows quick adjustment and locking without a second tool. Common issues include misaligning the jaws during rapid conversion between clamp and spreader modes. Ensure the bar is clean so the sliding head moves freely across the full 6 1/2 to 31 1/2 inch range. The 2.35 lb weight is manageable for extended overhead work.

Questions about this item
What is the throat depth of the 24 inch bar clamp?
The throat depth is 3 1/2 inches, providing clearance between the bar and the clamping face.
How do you switch the EZS60-8 from clamping to spreading?
Remove the fixed jaw from the bar, reverse its orientation, and reattach it so the jaws face outward for spreading.
When should the 2-component plastic handle be replaced?
Replace the handle if the grip material cracks, separates from the core, or becomes too slippery to hold securely.
