Bessey GSCC Clutch Style Bar Clamps

Bessey GSCC Clutch Style Bar Clamps are a popular, regular-duty clamp trusted by cabinetmakers, woodworkers, metalworkers, and home craftspeople across North America. The fast-sliding clutch mechanism makes them easy to set with one hand, and their compact head is ideal for clamping in close quarters. Choose the size that fits your work from the options above, then stock up — you can never have too many bar clamps.

Dependable, economical clamping

These powder-coated steel clamps slide quickly into position and lock with reliable holding power. They're a smart everyday choice for panel glue-ups, assembly, jigs, and general shop work where you need solid pressure without the cost of heavy-duty parallel clamps.

The GSCC family ranges from a 2-1/2" throat depth with 6" clamping capacity up to a 5" throat with 24" capacity, delivering roughly 600 to 1200 lbs of clamping force depending on model. Select your preferred throat depth and capacity from the variant options on this page.
