The Bessey EHKM360-12 is an extended 12 in. medium-duty one-handed bar trigger clamp designed for professional woodworkers, cabinet builders, and finish carpenters who require extended reach with flexible positioning. Capable of generating up to 165 lbs. of clamping force across a full 12 in. clamping span, this tool provides firm, reliable pressure for drawer box construction, wide panel glue-ups, casework, and interior carpentry.

Featuring Bessey's patent-pending 360-degree rotating handle assembly, the tool can be rotated around the rail to avoid table edges, bench dogs, or adjoining work surfaces. When assembling complex frames or clamping items in cramped quarters, the operator can spin the handle 180 degrees out of alignment with the jaw, allowing multiple clamps to sit directly side-by-side along the same glue line without handles obstructing one another.

A fast push-button mechanism releases the fixed jaw for tool-free inversion into a wide-span spreading tool, providing an outward spreading range of 6 in. to 18 in. for frame alignment, door jamb installation, or casework leveling. Removable soft-touch protective jaw pads distribute force over a broad surface area to protect delicate wood grains, veneers, and painted finishes from pressure marks.

For shorter clamping tasks requiring less bar overhang, the companion Bessey EHKM360-06 provides a compact 6 in. capacity with identical 165 lbs. clamping power. For heavy-duty commercial gluing requiring 300 lbs. of force and a deeper 3-1/8 in. throat depth, select the Bessey EHKL360-12.
