BESSEY® Horizontal Toggle with Open Arm with Horizontal Base Plate – 1–9/16-in. Clamping Capacity
The BESSEY® Auto-Adjust Horizontal Toggle Clamp combines quick operation, adjustable clamping force, and automatic workpiece height compensation in a durable toggle-clamping design. The open arm and horizontal base plate make this clamp an excellent choice for jigs, fixtures, workholding setups, and production applications where workpieces may vary in thickness.
Unlike traditional toggle clamps that require frequent manual adjustment, the BESSEY® Auto-Adjust system automatically compensates for variations in workpiece height while maintaining consistent clamping force. This makes it easier to secure different-sized workpieces quickly and reliably, whether you're working in a woodworking shop, machine shop, or production environment.
Automatic Adjustment for Different Workpiece Heights
The integrated auto-adjusting mechanism allows the clamp to accommodate changing workpiece thicknesses without requiring constant manual repositioning. With a clamping capacity of up to 1–9/16 inches and automatic adjustment up to 1–3/8 inches, the BT-Hh30 provides flexible workholding for a wide range of applications.
Adjustable Clamping Force
An integrated clamping force adjustment screw lets you control the amount of pressure applied to the workpiece. The BT-Hh30 provides a nominal clamping force range of 25 to 550 lbs., with the actual force dependent on spindle settings, pressure screw adjustment, and the force applied during operation.
Horizontal Base Plate for Flexible Mounting
The horizontal base plate provides a stable mounting surface for installing the clamp on jigs, fixtures, benches, and custom workholding systems. Mounting holes are designed for flexibility with both imperial and metric fasteners, using 1/4-inch or M6 fasteners for the BT-Hh30.
Comfortable, Ergonomic Handle
A large, heat-resistant handle provides comfortable operation during repeated clamping cycles. Soft handle inserts improve grip and help reduce hand fatigue, making the clamp well suited for production environments where fast, repetitive workholding is required.

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.
