18" One Handed EZS Clamp gives a revitalized approach to the one hand clamp market by combining single-handed control with a wide 6-1/2" to 25-3/4" spread range, so one clamp can handle both close clamping and wider spreading setups. This Bessey Tools clamp belongs to the clamps class in woodworking hand tools, so it fits directly into typical cabinet, casework, and bench assembly workflows where quick positioning matters. Single-handed clamping and spreading of workpieces with up to 445 lb clamping force lets an installer apply strong pressure while the other hand steers the workpiece, which helps when aligning parts on-site or at the bench. A comfortable handle and clean design lines support long sessions of repeated clamping, so repetitive assembly work stays efficient. The design transitions smoothly from clamping to spreading, so the same tool helps pull parts together or push them apart during fitting or repair tasks.
The 18" One Handed EZS Clamp with 6-1/2" to 25-3/4" spread range sets up quickly because the upper section converts from clamping to spreading without tools, so the same piece can serve as a bar clamp or a spreader depending on the job. Putting the handle behind the rail positions the grip where the user naturally pulls, which helps direct force straight along the bar during tightening and keeps the clamp stable while closing joints. Single-handed operation lets the installer hold parts together with one hand while cycling the handle with the other, streamlining dry fits and glue-ups in tight spaces. Soft pressure caps sit at the contact points, so aligning workpieces against the pads during tightening combines firm grip with surface protection on common woodworking materials.
The 18" One Handed EZS Clamp from Bessey Tools operates within a clamping and spreading range from 6-1/2" to 25-3/4", which suits many cabinet parts, drawer assemblies, and smaller case components that fall inside that span. Because this tool belongs to the clamps class in woodworking hand tools, it naturally fits into bench setups for routing, sanding, or drilling where workpieces need to be held in place without complicated fixtures. Single-handed clamping and spreading of workpieces with up to 445 lb clamping force lets users lock pieces to benches or straightedges while keeping the other hand free to manage cords, hoses, or stock alignment. The ergonomic handle behind the rail supports this by giving a firm grip position parallel to the clamping bar, so force is applied smoothly during repeated tightening cycles. Soft pressure caps at the jaws add another layer of control by providing a cushioned interface, which helps when gripping painted parts or pre-finished panels that go directly into visible installations.
The upper section that can quickly convert from clamping to spreading without tools means the EZS45-8 effectively serves as two tools in one, allowing users to switch from pulling cabinet sides together to pushing face frames apart during adjustments while keeping setups consistent. Single-handed clamping and spreading with up to 445 lb clamping force provides predictable holding strength, so once a user knows how the clamp behaves at a given squeeze, they can repeat that pressure across multiple joints for uniform assembly results. The ergonomic handle positioned behind the rail improves leverage and control, translating hand effort directly into bar movement, which supports accurate, incremental tightening instead of abrupt jumps. Soft pressure caps that optimize material protection and secure clamping also stabilize parts by increasing friction at the contact points, which reduces slipping while glue sets or while fasteners are driven. Throat depth that extends right to the outside edge of the pads spreads power across the entire pad surface, helping create even compression on the edge regions of panels or frames so joints close uniformly along their length.
The 18" One Handed EZS Clamp has a 6-1/2" to 25-3/4" spread range, so it handles both moderate-width clamping jobs and wider spreading tasks for typical woodworking assemblies.
The 18" One Handed EZS Clamp provides single-handed clamping and spreading of workpieces with up to 445 lb clamping force, giving strong holding power for many cabinet and bench setups.
The upper section can quickly convert from clamping to spreading without tools, so users shift from pulling pieces together to pushing them apart while keeping the same handling feel.
The ergonomic handle positioned behind the rail lets users pull in line with the bar, improving leverage and control for consistent tightening during repeated assembly work.
Soft pressure caps optimize material protection and secure clamping, so sensitive or finished surfaces are gripped firmly while the pads help limit surface marking.
Throat depth extended right to the outside edge of the pads spreads power across the entire pad, supporting more even pressure at panel and frame edges during clamping.
The 18" One Handed EZS Clamp from Bessey Tools combines single-handed clamping and spreading of workpieces with up to 445 lb clamping force, a 6-1/2" to 25-3/4" spread range, and soft pressure caps, giving a practical fit for everyday woodworking setups. The ergonomic handle behind the rail and fast clamping-to-spreading conversion without tools streamline tasks from glue-ups to adjustments. Select this EZS45-8 clamp when a single tool needs to handle both clamping and spreading with controlled force.
