Bessey Tools RSC-8 8 in Bar Clamp 4 in Throat Depth 770 lb hand tool

8 in Bar Clamp for Wood and Metal

The Bessey RSC-8 is an 8 in bar clamp built for wood and metal work. Its 4 in throat depth lets it reach past the edge of a workpiece. A nominal clamping pressure of 770 lb gives strong holding force for glue-ups, assembly and fabrication tasks. The ergonomic steel handle and anti-vibration cross over technology reduce fatigue during extended use.

Capacity and Headroom

The 4 in throat depth provides clearance for moderately deep workpieces, while the 770 lb clamping pressure handles typical joinery and metal-fabrication loads. The clamp face measures 1 1/8 x 2 in., distributing force across a broad surface to prevent marring. For very deep reaches or higher pressure demands, a deeper-throat or heavier-duty clamp would be required.

Build Quality and Daily Use

A nominal rail size of 49/64 x 3/8 in. and steel handle deliver rigidity without excess weight. The swivel pad type adjusts to uneven or angled surfaces, making corner work straightforward. Anti-vibration cross over technology dampens shock when tightening, protecting both the workpiece and the user's hand. The clamp ships new and ready for immediate use in the shop or on site.
