Bessey: top quality clamping tools

Why choose Bessey?

For over a century, Bessey has been committed to producing the best clamping tools. Over the years, Bessey has continued to innovate in order to offer ever better and smarter solutions for even more applications. The rails and brackets are made of hardened, tempered steel and deliver high, controlled tension forces with a long service life. Unique solutions such as the compact Bessey GearKlamp GK, which is operated around the rail, and the Bessey GZ-KG with a 360° rotatable and 90° foldable handle increase its applicability even in the most awkward corners. This way, you can always choose a clamp that suits your job, from precision work to heavy-duty gluing.

Bessey series

Bessey ClassiX GS and GSH

The Bessey ClassiX GS is the brand's most iconic screw clamp. It has a robust all-steel screw clamp with a wooden handle. The clamp elements are made of hardened, tempered and galvanised steel, which ensures stable clamping force. The trapezoidal thread ensures smooth, continuous power build-up. The Bessey GSH has the same rails as the GS series but is a lever clamp for fast clamping/unclamping with a lever mechanism.

Bessey GZ-KG

The Bessey GZ-KG are all-steel clamps with a two-component handle that can be folded down 90° for greater leverage. This makes it ideal in cramped spaces when you cannot grasp the handle in a straight position to apply force.

Bessey TGRC

The Bessey TGRC are screw clamps with cast iron brackets, an ergonomic wooden handle, protective caps on the clamping section and stable full-profile rails with serrations. Due to the cast iron brackets and stronger rails, this screw clamp springs less than the above-mentioned series. This results in higher clamping forces of up to approx. 5,500 N, ideal for intensive gluing work.

Bessey GearKlamp GK

The clamps from the GearKlamp series are unique. The handle is placed around the rail, allowing the patented mechanism in the sliding arm to immediately convert any rotational movement into clamping force. This design makes the clamp very compact and perfect for hard-to-reach places.

EZS & EZ360

The Bessey EZ clamps are one-handed and have a clamp/push function; with the EZ360, the handle can be rotated 360° for maximum flexibility and control. Ideal for repetitive tasks and overhead work when you are holding the work with your other hand.

Clippix & XM

The Clippix and XM are spring clamps. Quick and secure fastening with strong spring pressure. Clippix is a lightweight spring clamp with an ergonomic handle and plastic jaws. The XM5EU is an all-metal spring clamp with protective caps.

Screw clamps with cast brackets provide high clamping forces (up to approx. 5,500 N) for heavy-duty gluing work and even pressure distribution.

One-handed & lever clamps

Quick and intuitive clamping/spreading with one hand (EZS, EZ360) or lightning-fast securing with a lever (GSH). Ideal for efficient working and series connections.

Bessey spring clamps

History of Bessey

Bessey was founded in Stuttgart in 1889 as a steel company and switched to hand clamps in the 1930s, building up numerous patents and innovations for the brand. This steel expertise remains at the heart of their clamping tools, which are used by professionals and vocational schools worldwide. More than a century later, it is still all about quality, material control and practical innovation, from classic all-steel clamps to compact, patented solutions as the GearKlamp.
