18 in Bar Clamp with 24 in Capacity

The Bessey GK60 bar clamp is a new hand tool designed to hold two workpieces together. Its 18 in steel bar provides an adjustable clamping range of 0 to 18 in. A 2 3/8 in throat depth allows the jaws to reach further across the material. The two-component plastic handle enables one-handed pressure adjustment.

Woodworkers needing up to 18 in reach

This clamp suits woodworkers and metalworkers joining panels or assemblies within an 18 in span. The 2 3/8 in throat depth handles moderate workpiece thicknesses. Buyers who need a larger clamping span or deeper throat reach should look at alternative models.

18 in steel bar length

The 18 in bar length sets the maximum distance between the fixed and sliding jaws. It determines the widest assembly the tool can accommodate. Verify that your project dimensions fall within the 0 to 18 in adjustable range before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What length of workbench or rail do I need to mount the 18 in steel bar of this clamp?

The steel bar measures 18 in long, so the mounting surface must provide at least that much clear linear space for the bar to sit flat and operate.

Will the 2 3/8 in throat depth reach past the 18 in spread when I keep my older wide-jaw clamps on the same bench?

The throat depth is fixed at 2 3/8 in and the spreading range is 0 to 18 in, so reach past the fully opened jaws is limited to that depth regardless of other clamps.

How can I confirm the one-handed adjustment is moving the jaw smoothly through the full 0 to 18 in range after setup?

Squeeze the 2-component plastic handle repeatedly; the movable jaw should travel freely from fully closed to the 18 in mark without binding or excessive play.
