Edge Clamp Adjustable - Bessey Tools EKT-55 is a one-handed adjustable edge clamp designed for woodworking jobs that need firm, directed pressure along an edge. The clamp uses a unique twin spindle design, where the outer spindle acts on the clamping jaws and the inner spindle applies pressure to the front edge, so you can pull parts together while also pressing directly on the edge during operations like edge work. Its impact resistant plastic handle is built for one-handed use, which allows the other hand to stay on the workpiece for alignment when tightening. This tool sits in the clamps category under woodworking tools and equipment, so it fits naturally into clamp setups around benches and assembly areas. The EKT-55 designation and Bessey Tools branding identify it clearly for repeat ordering when a specific edge clamp performance is needed.
The EDGE CLAMP, ONE HANDED, ADJUSTABLE design means the EKT-55 is intended for clamping tasks that are adjusted with one hand during use, so you can reposition material with the other hand without breaking your setup. The unique twin spindle arrangement separates jaw clamping from front edge pressure, which allows step-by-step tightening of the jaws first, then targeted edge pressure using the inner spindle where the edge needs force. Its impact resistant plastic handle supports repeated tightening moves on job sites and in shops, where the user may need to adjust clamping force multiple times as materials are aligned. The light aluminum housing keeps overall clamp weight down, which helps during repeated positioning along long edges while still handling the static stress of sustained clamping pressure.
This clamp is placed in the woodworking tools and equipment hand tools clamps category, so it is intended for tasks where a clamp is used directly by hand at the bench or during installation. The web description calls it the perfect tool for edgebanding, which ties its use specifically to edge banding work where consistent edge pressure is required along panel edges. Because the outer spindle controls the clamping jaws, the clamp can grip the workpiece edges while the inner spindle applies pressure to the front edge, which is particularly useful when holding edging material into place against a panel edge. The two large non-slip opposing gentle jaws provide positive grip, which helps hold the panel or edging steady while adhesive or processes related to edgebanding are carried out. The large swiveling pressure plate with removable protective cap directs force onto the edge, supporting precise pressure placement during those edge-focused tasks.
The unique twin spindle design supports repeatable clamping sequences because the jaws and edge pressure are adjusted through separate spindles, allowing consistent tightening steps each time a panel is processed. The impact resistant plastic handle is described for one-handed use, so operators can develop a consistent motion pattern where the clamp is positioned and tightened while the other hand manages workpiece alignment, aiding workflow repeatability. Large non-slip gentle jaws offer a positive grip without aggressive surfaces, which helps keep material placement consistent from piece to piece without introducing heavy jaw marks that might affect finished edges. The swiveling pressure plate focuses force where the edge needs it, and the removable protective cap influences how that pressure contacts the surface, letting shops match contact to different edge conditions. With its lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum housing designed for high static stress load, the clamp can be applied repeatedly under load across production runs while remaining manageable to move from edge to edge. Together, these verified details support predictable edge clamping behavior for woodworking and edgebanding applications where repeat performance is important.
Edge Clamp Adjustable - Bessey Tools EKT-55 is an EDGE CLAMP, ONE HANDED, ADJUSTABLE in the clamps product class, so it is built specifically for edge-focused clamping tasks in woodworking.
The unique twin spindle system lets the outer spindle control the jaws while the inner spindle applies pressure to the front edge, so users can secure the work and push directly on the edge in one setup.
The product is described as the perfect tool for edgebanding, because its twin spindle system and swiveling pressure plate concentrate controlled pressure right at the front edge where edge banding needs support.
The impact resistant plastic handle is designed for one-handed use, so users can tighten or adjust clamping force while the other hand positions panels or edging along the work edge.
The two large non-slip opposing gentle jaws provide a positive grip on the work surface while staying gentle on the material, which helps hold workpieces steady without harsh surface marking.
The light aluminum housing is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed for high static stress load, so the clamp remains manageable to move while supporting sustained edge clamping forces.
The Edge Clamp Adjustable - Bessey Tools EKT-55 combines a unique twin spindle system, large non-slip jaws, and a swiveling pressure plate to target both grip and edge pressure. Its impact resistant plastic handle and light aluminum housing support one-handed, repeated use in woodworking and edgebanding setups. The clamp sits within the clamps product class under woodworking tools and equipment, aligning its design with bench and installation workflows that rely on precise edge control. For operations where directed pressure along the front edge matters, this clamp provides a focused, task-driven option built around edge clamping requirements.
