Bessey 16-Inch Bar Clamp

This Bessey 2400S-16 bar clamp provides a maximum jaw opening of 16 inches for securing workpieces. A throat depth of 5 1/2 inches allows reach beyond the edge of the material. The steel and plastic construction suits construction sites and home workshops alike. It accepts steel bars up to 1 11/32 x 1/2 inches for the sliding jaw.

Installation and Common Issues

The clamp operates by sliding the movable jaw along the bar and tightening the steel handle. No tools are required for basic setup or adjustment. The swivel morpad pad helps distribute pressure evenly on angled surfaces. Misalignment of the bar or debris in the sliding mechanism can cause the jaw to bind during tightening.

Capacity and Headroom

The 16-inch maximum opening handles wide panels, frames and glue-ups comfortably. The 5 1/2-inch throat depth provides clearance for thicker workpieces or edge clamping. Regular-duty rating means it suits typical woodworking and light fabrication tasks. It runs out of reach on very wide assemblies or when deeper throat access is needed for centred pressure.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the clamp holds securely once tightened?

Tighten the steel handle until the swivel morpad pad contacts the workpiece evenly; a firm grip with no slippage at the 16 in max jaw opening shows it is working as intended.

What comes in the box and what must I supply?

The box contains the Bessey 2400S-16 bar clamp with its plastic and steel construction; you must provide steel bars up to 1 11/32 x 1/2 in separately.

Which capacity suits my project — the 16 in or another size?

Choose the 16 in max jaw opening when your workpiece spans up to that distance; the 5 1/2 in throat depth and 7.55 weight suit regular-duty tasks.
