F-clamp Bessey TGK100-2K 100 cm Aluminium Black Red

The Bessey TGK100-2K 100 cm Aluminium Black Red F-clamp is a heavy-duty clamping tool designed for woodworking, metalworking and general workshop applications. Constructed with an aluminium beam and engineered jaws, it provides a 100 cm clamping opening while remaining lightweight at approximately 4 kg. The clamp’s two-tone black and red finish identifies it as part of Bessey’s durable tool range and is sized to handle large panels, frames and assemblies where steady pressure and precise alignment are required.

Advantages

This aluminium F-clamp combines a long reach with reduced weight, offering easier handling during extended tasks. The robust jaw design ensures even pressure distribution across the clamped surface, while the machined sliding and fixed heads provide stable guidance and minimal flex. The ergonomic handle and quick-engage mechanism enable efficient single-handed adjustment and secure locking. Corrosion-resistant components and durable finishes contribute to long service life in workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Clamping large wooden panels during glue-ups and assembly
• Holding frames, doors and window components for fitting or fastening
• Securing workpieces for sawing, routing or planing
• Metal fabrication tasks that require steady clamping over long spans
• Temporary fixtures in cabinetry, furniture making and joinery

Key specifications

• Clamping opening (reach): 100 cm
• Material: aluminium beam with reinforced jaws
• Approximate weight: 4 kg
• Finish: black and red two-tone coating
• Handle type: ergonomic quick-engage handle for single-handed operation
• Pressure distribution: wide contact faces to reduce marring

How to use

Position the aluminium beam so the fixed head rests against one side of the workpiece and slide the movable head toward the opposite side until it contacts the material. Use the quick-engage handle to advance the clamping jaw until the desired clamping pressure is reached, taking care to maintain correct alignment of the parts. For glue-ups, apply steady, even pressure and check that contact faces are parallel to avoid uneven squeeze-out. Release the clamp by disengaging the locking mechanism and sliding the movable head away from the workpiece.

Recommendations

For safe and effective use, protect finished surfaces with thin cauls or pads between the clamp faces and the workpiece to prevent marking. Avoid over-torquing; apply only the pressure necessary to hold parts securely. Store the clamp in a dry area to preserve the protective finish and inspect sliding parts periodically for debris or wear to ensure smooth operation.
