Clamp Bessey EZ360-45 one-hand rotating-handle 450 mm reach 80 mm throat

Bessey EZ360-45 one-hand rotating-handle clamp features a 450 mm bar and an 80 mm throat depth designed for single-handed clamping tasks. The clamp combines a one-hand trigger mechanism with a rotating handle to allow quick positioning and controlled pressure without needing a second hand. Its construction suits woodworking, assembly and general DIY tasks where frequent adjustment and repetitive clamping are required.

Advantages

The rotating handle provides improved ergonomics and easier access in confined spaces, allowing the operator to apply torque from multiple angles. The one-hand operation speeds up workflow by enabling rapid gripping, release and fine adjustments with the same hand. A stable bar profile and precise jaw alignment deliver consistent clamping pressure and reduce the risk of workpiece movement during glue-up or fastening. The 80 mm throat depth allows reach into shallow recesses while the 450 mm bar length covers typical board widths used in joinery.

Suitable for

• Woodworking glue-ups and frame assembly
• Carpentry and joinery tasks requiring quick single-handed clamping
• DIY repairs and furniture assembly
• Light metalwork and hobby projects where controlled clamping is needed

Key specifications

• Bar length: 450 mm
• Throat depth: 80 mm
• One-hand trigger operation for rapid clamping and release
• Rotating handle for improved ergonomics and access
• Fixed head and movable jaw design for accurate alignment
• Material: durable metal bar and reinforced jaw components

How to use

Place the fixed head against one side of the workpiece and slide the movable jaw along the bar until it clears the opposite side. Position the clamp so the 80 mm throat reaches the required depth, then squeeze the one-hand trigger or rotate the handle to advance the movable jaw until the desired pressure is reached. Release pressure by activating the quick-release mechanism or reversing the trigger action. For repeated operations, keep the bar clean and ensure smooth jaw travel to maintain consistent clamping action.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or scrap wood between the clamp jaws and delicate surfaces to prevent marring. Avoid over-tightening; apply only the pressure necessary to hold the workpiece securely. Regularly inspect the clamp for wear and keep the rotating handle mechanism free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
