BESSEY TGJ Series 18 in. Bar Clamp with Composite Plastic Handle and 2-1/2 in. Throat Depth

Introduced in 1936, the original BESSEY malleable cast iron bar clamp was the world's first bar clamp. Clamp with traditional wood handles are still available and quite popular however, many models are now also available with composite plastic handles as well as with tommy bar (sliding pin) handles. Many of these Clamps have also been fitted with replaceable pressure pads that are easily replaced, and allow for replacement of damaged spindles.
