Bessey Tools 12 in. PowerGrip One-Handed Bar Clamp, 4 in. Throat Depth, 1,000 lbs. Clamping Force PG12

The BESSEY PG12 PowerGrip is a 12 in. one-handed bar clamp engineered to generate up to 1,000 lbs. of clamping force for heavy-duty woodworking, cabinetry, and structural fabrication. Combining single-handed positioning with high force output, the PG12 bridges the gap between light quick-action trigger clamps and traditional heavy bar clamps.

Operation begins with the quick-release button for fast sliding arm movement along the steel rail. Squeezing the two-way pump lever—configured parallel to the rail for ergonomic balance—holds workpieces with up to 200 lbs. of force using one hand. Rotating the integrated ACME threaded spindle then increases clamping pressure up to 1,000 lbs. for high-load glue-ups and metal fabrication.

Constructed for heavy shop use, the fixed arm and pressure plate are drawn and tempered from a single piece of premium BESSEY steel to resist flex under load. Removable non-marring soft plastic caps protect pre-finished wood and metal surfaces from jaw marks.
