## Summary description

Bessey GH12 ratchet clamp with a 12 cm clamp opening, manufactured from brushed steel and weighing 490 g.

Compact size for workshop and mobile use.

## Long description

Bessey GH12 ratchet clamp offers a 12 cm opening in a compact, 490 g brushed steel body designed for secure incremental tightening. The clamp uses a ratchet mechanism to provide controlled pressure and repeatable clamping steps, making it suitable for woodworking, assembly and light metalworking where stable hold and precise force application are required. Its compact size supports both stationary workshop use and mobile tasks.
Advantages
The ratchet mechanism enables fast, stepwise tightening and reliable retention under vibration. A specially optimised rail profile provides greater reserves of power for even clamping force build‑up across the full range. Sintered steel cams increase wear resistance and reduce friction for consistent operation, while the non‑slip trigger release allows safe and controlled opening. Despite its lightweight 490 g construction, the clamp delivers strong clamping force suitable for many precision tasks.
Suitable for
 Woodworking clamping and gluing
 Assembly of furniture and fixtures
 Light metalworking and sheet holding
 On‑site repairs and mobile workshop tasks
Key specifications
 Clamping opening: 12 cm
 Material: brushed steel
 Weight: 490 g
 Mechanism: ratchet with non‑slip trigger release
 Cams: sintered steel for increased hardness and low friction
 Clamping force capability: up to 8,500 N
 Operation speed: up to 5× faster than regular clamps (ratchet action)
 Vibration resistance: secure retention under vibration
How to use
Place the clamp jaws around the workpieces within the 12 cm opening and engage the ratchet mechanism by repeatedly squeezing the handle until the desired clamping pressure is reached. Use the non‑slip trigger release to release the clamp in controlled steps when loosening is required. For best results, align the jaws so that the clamping surfaces contact the workpieces evenly and avoid side loading that could reduce effectiveness.
Usage recommendations
For consistent results, inspect mating surfaces for cleanliness and use protective pads if clamping delicate finishes. Apply only the force necessary for the task; the clamp is capable of high clamping force but overtightening can damage workpieces. Store the clamp dry to prevent corrosion and periodically check the ratchet and cams for wear to maintain reliable performance.
