Bessey GTR16S6H bar clamp, plastic and steel construction, 300×200×300 mm

The Bessey GTR16S6H bar clamp combines a plastic body with steel and zinc components to provide a compact, corrosion-resistant clamping solution for workshop and DIY projects. With overall dimensions of approximately 300×200×300 mm, this clamp is designed to hold workpieces securely during gluing, assembly and light carpentry tasks. Its compact profile and sturdy construction make it suitable for repetitive use where stable clamping force and ease of handling are required.

Advantages

The clamp delivers consistent clamping pressure through a steel bar and reinforced plastic housing, while zinc-plated parts increase resistance to rust in workshop environments. Its moderate size balances reach and control, making it easy to position and tighten with one hand. The combination of materials reduces weight without sacrificing durability, and the compact design facilitates storage and transport.

Suitable for

• Securing boards and panels during glue-ups
• Light assembly and joinery work in a home workshop
• Holding small to medium workpieces for routing, sanding or drilling
• DIY furniture repairs and hobby woodworking

Key specifications

• Construction materials: plastic housing, steel bar, zinc-plated metal components
• Overall dimensions (approx.): 300 mm × 200 mm × 300 mm
• Clamping range: suitable for small to medium workpieces within listed dimensions
• Profile: compact bar clamp design for workshop and handheld use
• Weight: lightweight construction for easier handling and transport

How to use

Position the clamp so that the fixed jaw contacts one side of the workpiece and the sliding jaw aligns with the other side within the available clamping range. Adjust the sliding jaw along the steel bar to approach the workpiece, then operate the tightening mechanism until the desired clamping pressure is achieved. For glue-ups, apply even pressure and verify alignment of the joint before the adhesive sets. Release the clamp by reversing the tightening action and sliding the jaw away from the workpiece.

Recommendations

Inspect zinc-plated parts regularly and wipe down after exposure to moisture to maintain corrosion resistance. For delicate surfaces, use protective pads between the jaws and the workpiece to prevent marking. Avoid over-tightening; apply only the pressure needed to hold components securely during assembly or adhesive curing.
