BESSEY® Horizontal Toggle with Open Arm and Angled Base Plate
The BESSEY® Auto-Adjust Horizontal Toggle Clamp with an open arm and angled base plate delivers fast, secure workholding while automatically compensating for variations in workpiece height. Unlike traditional toggle clamps that require repeated manual adjustments, the auto-adjusting design maintains consistent clamping pressure across different material thicknesses. This makes it an excellent choice for woodworking, machining, fixturing, jigs, fixtures, and both small- and large-scale production applications.
The integrated adjustment system allows the clamp to accommodate changing workpiece heights without sacrificing reliable holding force. Combined with an ergonomic handle, durable construction, and corrosion-resistant finish, this BESSEY toggle clamp is designed for dependable everyday use in demanding shop environments.
Automatic Adjustment for Consistent Clamping
The BESSEY Auto-Adjust Toggle Clamp automatically adjusts to variations in workpiece height while maintaining the selected clamping force. This reduces setup time and makes repetitive clamping operations faster and more consistent.
Adjustable Clamping Force
An integrated clamping-force adjustment screw lets you control the amount of pressure applied to the workpiece. The variable force range provides flexibility for different materials, applications, and fixturing requirements.
Open Arm with Angled Base Plate
The open-arm configuration provides convenient access around the workpiece, while the angled base plate offers mounting flexibility for custom jigs, fixtures, and workholding setups. The mounting holes accommodate commonly used metric and imperial fasteners, making the clamp easy to integrate into a wide range of shop-built applications.
Comfortable, Ergonomic Handle
A large, heat-resistant handle provides a comfortable grip for repeated operation. Soft handle inserts help reduce hand fatigue, making the clamp easier to use during extended production or workshop sessions.
Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Sturdy, tempered metal components provide the strength needed for reliable clamping and long service life. A nickel-plated finish helps resist corrosion and wear, keeping the clamp ready for continued use in the shop.

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.
