Bessey TG20-2K tankopuristin

The Bessey TG20-2K bar clamp provides secure, reliable clamping with a 20 cm opening in a compact, lightweight form. Constructed from durable iron components with engineered plastic parts for the handle and sliding elements, this clamp is designed for repeatable performance in woodworking and light metalworking tasks. At approximately 1.06 kg, it balances portability with the clamping force needed for glue-ups, assembly and holding parts during machining or finishing operations.

Advantages

The clamp combines a robust iron bar and pressure head with an ergonomic plastic handle to deliver both stability and comfortable operation. Its compact 20 cm capacity and low weight make it easy to position and reposition on workpieces. The mechanism provides consistent clamping force and reliable holding without excessive play, supporting precise alignment and safer handling of components.

Suitable for

• Wood glue-ups and panel assembly
• Holding parts during drilling, routing or sanding
• Light metal fabrication and fixture work
• DIY projects, craftwork and small repairs

Key specifications

• Clamping capacity: 20 cm opening
• Materials: iron bar and pressure components, engineered plastic handle and sliders
• Approximate weight: 1.06 kg
• Ergonomic handle for comfortable one-handed operation
• Fixed bar design for stable parallel clamping

How to use

Position the clamp so the pressure head and the sliding jaw contact the workpiece surfaces to be held. Retract the sliding jaw along the bar to fit the 20 cm opening around the workpiece, then engage the handle to apply clamping force until the pieces are held securely. Make fine adjustments by repositioning the clamp and retightening as needed. Release pressure by disengaging the handle and sliding the jaw away from the workpiece.

Recommendations

Use protective pads or scrap wood between the clamp jaws and finished surfaces to avoid marking. Inspect the clamp before use for smooth sliding action and secure handle operation. For repetitive or heavy-duty tasks, consider using multiple clamps to distribute force evenly and maintain alignment.
