Bar clamp BESSEY TG16-2K

The BESSEY TG16-2K bar clamp provides a 16 cm clamping opening in a compact, lightweight design. Constructed from iron with plastic components, the clamp combines strength and maneuverability for a range of fastening and holding operations. At approximately 660 g, it is easy to position and control during repetitive tasks, and its ergonomic grip supports precise pressure application while minimizing hand fatigue.

Advantages

The clamp's metal bar and reinforced plastic head deliver a balance of durability and reduced weight, suitable for frequent use. Its 16 cm opening accommodates small to medium workpieces, while the ergonomic handle shape enables steady, controlled tightening. The compact size and low weight make it convenient for transport and storage without sacrificing clamping force or stability.

Suitable for

• Gluing and assembly of wooden parts
• Holding small panels and frames during fastening
• Workshop repair and hobby projects
• Light carpentry and DIY tasks

Key specifications

• Maximum clamping opening: 16 cm
• Materials: iron bar with plastic components
• Weight: approximately 660 g
• Ergonomic handle for controlled tightening
• Compact, hand-held bar clamp design

How to use

Place the clamp so the stationary jaw and the movable jaw encompass the workpiece and align them to distribute pressure evenly. Squeeze the handle or actuating mechanism until the jaws hold the workpiece securely; avoid extreme over-tightening to prevent surface damage. Release the clamp by operating the quick-release or release lever while supporting the workpiece to avoid sudden movement. For repeatable setups, pre-position the movable jaw close to the workpiece before applying final pressure.

Recommendations

For best results, protect delicate surfaces with thin pads or scrap material between the jaws and the workpiece. Regularly inspect the clamp for wear or damage, keep moving parts clean, and store in a dry place to maintain reliable performance over time.
