Bessey CL24 Sliding Arm Bar Clamp 24 in 4 in Throat

Product Description

The BESSEY CL24 is a heavy-duty sliding arm bar clamp built for professional fabrication, carpentry, and metalworking applications. It delivers up to 1,775 pounds of clamping pressure through a forged steel T-handle and a 0.7-inch diameter high carbon steel spindle. The rail measures 1-1/16 by 33/64 inches and runs 24 inches in length, giving tradespeople a reliable gripping surface across a wide span. An electrogalvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in shop and field environments. Cast iron V-groove pads seat securely against workpieces, reducing slippage under load. The CL24 is also rated for spreader use, making it a versatile addition to any professional toolkit. At 7.25 pounds, it is built for durability without sacrificing portability.

The BESSEY CL24 suits professional woodworkers, metal fabricators, pipefitters, and contractors who need consistent, repeatable clamping force on work surfaces up to 24 inches wide. The 4-inch throat depth accommodates typical panel, frame, and pipe clamping tasks. Its spreader-capable design means it can reverse function to push components apart, which is useful during subassembly and alignment work on structural or fabricated assemblies. The steel frame and electrogalvanized finish hold up in both indoor shop conditions and outdoor or industrial job site environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard bar clamp replacement or addition for professional shop and job site use, compatible with typical woodworking, metal fabrication, and structural assembly workflows requiring up to 24 inches of clamping capacity.

Installation Notes

No power tools or special installation procedures are required for bar clamp operation. Inspect the rail, spindle, and pads before each use and remove any debris that could compromise grip or damage workpiece surfaces. When using in spreader mode, ensure components are stable and supported to prevent shifting under load. Store the clamp in a dry location to preserve the electrogalvanized finish and prevent corrosion on the spindle threads.
