Bessey Double-Headed Bar Clamp - 12 in.
Clutch Style Double Jaw Bar Clamp for Delicate and Corner Glue-Ups
BESSEY® Double Headed Bar Clamp – 12-in. Long
The BESSEY® Double Headed Bar Clamp is a versatile clutch-style clamp designed for woodworking applications where traditional bar clamps may not provide the pressure distribution you need. Its unique double jaw design helps disperse clamping pressure more evenly, making it especially useful for corner glue-ups, delicate assemblies, and projects where minimizing concentrated pressure is important.
Double Jaw Design for Even Clamping Pressure
The double jaw configuration provides two clamping surfaces that help distribute pressure across the workpiece. This makes the clamp an excellent choice for delicate materials and assemblies that require a secure hold without excessive pressure in a single area. The design is also particularly useful for corner glue-ups and other specialized woodworking applications.
Durable Cast-Iron Jaws
Both the fixed and sliding jaws are made from durable ductile cast iron and feature a protective powder-coated finish. This rugged construction provides the strength and durability needed for demanding shop use while maintaining reliable clamping performance.
Secure Clutch-Style Rail System
The nickel-plated, drawn and serrated rail provides a strong, dependable clamping surface. A two-piece nonslip clutch mechanism helps keep the sliding jaw securely positioned on the rail, allowing you to quickly adjust the clamp and maintain a firm hold on your workpiece.
Protective, Non-Marring Clamp Pads
Non-marring protective pads on the top and bottom jaws help protect finished surfaces from damage during clamping. The 1-inch swivel pad on the anvil surface also helps maintain contact with uneven or irregular surfaces for a more secure grip.
12-Inch Clamping Capacity
This BESSEY Double Headed Bar Clamp provides a 12-inch clamping capacity with a 3-1/2-inch throat depth and up to 400 pounds of clamping force. Its compact 2.28-pound weight makes it easy to handle while still providing the strength needed for a wide range of woodworking and assembly tasks.

Proposition 65 (formally titled "The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986") is a California law that has been in effect since 1986 to promote clean drinking water and keep toxic substances that cause cancer and birth defects out of consumer products. It is administered by Cal/EPA's California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). Proposition 65 regulates substances listed by California as causing cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm in two ways. The first regulatory arm of Proposition 65 prohibits businesses from knowingly discharging listed substances into drinking water sources, or onto land where the substances can pass into drinking water sources. The second regulatory arm of Proposition 65 prohibits businesses from knowingly exposing individuals to listed substances without providing a clear and reasonable warning.
BESSEY branded products do not, to the best of our knowledge, expose individuals to harmful substances as listed by the Cal Prop 65 Legislation.
WARNING: Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood.
