12 inch one handed EZS clamp from Bessey Tools is a one hand clamp engineered for both clamping and spreading, so it supports workholding across cutting, assembly, and glue-up tasks. This EZS30-8 model delivers up to 445 lb clamping force, which secures workpieces firmly during operations that benefit from strong, repeatable pressure. The clamp offers single-handed clamping and spreading of workpieces, allowing the other hand to position parts, manage layout lines, or operate tools. It transitions smoothly from clamping to spreading, so the same tool can bring panels together or push components apart during fitting. An intelligent release mechanism lets the upper section convert from clamping to spreading without tools, which reduces setup steps between different tasks. The clamp design offers clean design lines and comfortable handles, supporting longer work sessions where repeated actuation is common.
This one hand clamp is designed to transition smoothly from clamping to spreading, so the same tool can close casework parts or separate components during dry fitting. The intelligent release mechanism in the upper section performs this conversion without tools, which keeps workflow continuous between tasks that demand different force directions. With the handle positioned behind the rail, the operator pulls in line with the bar, translating grip strength into controlled clamping or spreading pressure. Soft pressure caps maintain secure contact as force increases, so surfaces stay protected while the work is held. Throat depth measured to the very edge of the pads means the applied force reaches across the full pad area, which matters when gripping near panel edges or narrow workpieces.
The 12 inch one handed EZS clamp, with 6-1/2 inch to 20 inch spread capability, covers common panel and component spans in woodworking and related shop work. Single-handed clamping and spreading lets it support tasks where one hand needs to hold a stile, rail, or panel while the other tightens the clamp. The ability to transition smoothly from clamping to spreading means it can pull miters or butt joints tight, then reverse to push parts apart for adjustments. Throat depth extending to the pad edge allows the clamp to press close to workpiece edges, so it suits applications like securing edging, face frames, or trim where contact near the edge is useful.
The up to 445 lb clamping force allows joints and assemblies to stay stable under significant pressure, supporting consistent results across multiple glue-ups or setups using the same clamp. The ergonomic handle positioned behind the rail creates a pulling motion that aligns with the bar, which can provide better leverage and more predictable force application from one use to the next. The intelligent release mechanism, which converts from clamping to spreading without tools, reduces interruptions between fitting stages, so the work sequence remains more consistent. Soft pressure caps that optimize material protection and secure clamping help limit surface marring across repeated cycles, which is important when using the clamp on finished or pre-sanded parts. Throat depth carried to the pad edge spreads power across the entire pad, promoting even pressure patterns that support uniform glue line contact and alignment along edges over repeated operations.
The 12 inch one handed EZS clamp provides up to 445 lb clamping force, giving strong pressure to keep joints and assemblies stable during tasks such as gluing, drilling, or light machining.
The single-handed clamping and spreading of workpieces lets one hand position or hold parts while the other operates the clamp, which supports alignment when handling panels or frame components.
The EZS30-8 uses an intelligent release mechanism so the upper section can quickly convert from clamping to spreading without tools, allowing fast direction changes during fitting or assembly.
This 12 inch one handed EZS clamp has a 6-1/2 inch to 20 inch spread, covering typical workpiece spacings in woodworking and similar shop setups.
Soft pressure caps optimize material protection and secure clamping by distributing force across the pad area, which helps limit marking on finished or delicate surfaces.
The ergonomic handle positioned behind the rail provides a powerful grip in line with the bar, helping deliver strong, controlled clamping or spreading force during repeated use.
The 12 inch one handed EZS clamp from Bessey Tools combines single-handed clamping and spreading, up to 445 lb clamping force, and an ergonomic handle behind the rail to support controlled workholding. Its intelligent release mechanism shifts between clamping and spreading without tools, aligning with workflows that alternate between pulling joints tight and easing them apart. Soft pressure caps and throat depth extending to the pad edge help apply secure, even pressure near edges. For woodworking and shop tasks that depend on one hand operation and consistent force, this EZS30-8 clamp provides a focused, practical option.
