Bessey GearKlamps

The GearKlamp delivers fast-action, secure clamping force of up to 450 lbs, making it strong enough for serious glue-ups despite its compact size. Compare it with other clamping tools in our range.

Its patent-pending mechanism positions the handle around the rail in a unique compact design, so you can clamp in the tightest of spots or work right up against another object where a standard clamp won't fit.

A quick-release shift button lets you rapidly slide the bar to fit your workpiece, then the geared handle applies clamping pressure. This makes setup fast compared with threading a clamp open and closed.
