BESSEY TW16-20-10H clamp Plastic Steel Zinc 350 mm 150.1 mm 119.9 mm

The BESSEY TW16-20-10H clamp combines plastic, steel and zinc components into a compact clamping tool with a 350 mm opening width, 150.1 mm depth and 119.9 mm height. Designed for general-purpose clamping tasks, this clamp delivers a secure hold for wood, metal and composite assemblies. Its construction balances rigidity and corrosion resistance to support repeated use in workshop and site environments.

Advantages

This clamp provides consistent clamping pressure through a steel working mechanism while plastic elements reduce weight and improve handling. Zinc-coated parts increase resistance to corrosion and extend service life in humid or variable conditions. The dimensions of the tool offer a practical combination of reach and clamping capacity suitable for a wide range of projects.

Suitable for

• Securing workpieces during gluing and assembly
• Temporary fixation for cutting, drilling and sanding
• Holding frames, panels and edge joints in carpentry
• Light to medium-duty metalworking fixtures

Key specifications

• Materials: plastic body, steel mechanism, zinc-coated components
• Maximum opening width: 350 mm
• Depth (throat): 150.1 mm
• Height: 119.9 mm

How to use

Position the clamp so the fixed jaw and sliding jaw align with the surfaces to be joined. Open the clamp to accommodate the workpiece by sliding the movable jaw along the bar to the required width. Bring the jaws together on the workpiece and apply clamping force using the handle or trigger mechanism until the assembly is held firmly. Check alignment and adjust pressure to avoid distortion of delicate materials. Release the clamp by disengaging the locking mechanism and sliding the jaw away from the workpiece.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the clamp on clean, flat contact surfaces and avoid overtightening to prevent marking or deformation. Store the tool in a dry place to preserve the zinc-coated parts and periodically inspect moving components for wear or debris. For delicate surfaces, add protective pads between the jaws and the workpiece.
