Description
The BESSEY 40 in. TG Series was invented and patented by BESSEY in 1936 and, has been continuously updated and improved ever since. It has been a recognized standard wood shop tool for decades because of its durability and builds quality. Each BESSEY TG clamp comes standard with an anti-slip system. This includes a set screw that is molded into the sliding arm and interlocks with the serrations on the rail to prevent the clamp from slipping. The corrugated malleable cast iron fixed jaw and sliding arm generate powerful, rigid clamping force. Top jaws are fitted to the rail with no mechanical fasteners to loosen up over time while the powder coating protects against corrosion. The high quality steel rail comes from BESSEY’s own German steel drawing plant. The steel bar stock’s profile acts as a reliable reinforcement against torsional forces, while the serration on six faces additionally prevents the clamp from slipping. Smooth running spindle with Acme thread provides more clamping with less effort. Finally the pressure pads can be easily changed without tools.

I used this to build a mirror frame. Works like it should and plenty big enough for my projects.

I bought a pair of 40 inch bar clamps and put them to use right away. I like the wooden handle combined with the sturdy metal bars. So far they are doing the job with some light duty work. I should have bought a second pair.

If you’re working on a big project, this is the clamp to choose. Solid, heavy, and made with good-quality steel, this clamp will provide great holding power for any of your mid- to large-size projects (it’s probably too heavy for most smaller projects). The throat is quite deep, which allows for great versatility in placing the clamp onto your project, and the plastic “hands” (which actually touch the wood) are big and sturdy enough to securely hold whatever you’re working on.

Little heavy for the size but otherwise works well so far. No complaints with ability to secure items together for working on.
