Klem Bessey KRE80-2K rood

The Bessey KRE80-2K Red clamp combines a plastic and steel construction with a compact footprint measuring 300 mm in width, 200 mm in depth and 300 mm in height. Designed for general-purpose clamping, it provides a reliable grip for a variety of workshop and DIY tasks. The red finish improves visibility on the workbench and the mixed-material build balances strength with lower weight for easier handling.

Advantages

The combination of plastic and steel components ensures sturdy clamping force where needed while reducing overall weight. Its dimensions give a stable contact area suitable for medium-sized assemblies. The visible red color helps locate the clamp quickly among tools and workpieces. Construction quality supports repeated use in both professional and home environments without adding unnecessary bulk to tool kits.

Suitable for

• Woodworking glue-ups and panel alignment
• Light to medium metalworking tasks requiring hold-down force
• General repair, assembly and DIY projects
• Temporary fixture of parts during sanding, painting or fastening

Key specifications

• Material: plastic body with steel components
• Width: 300 mm
• Depth: 200 mm
• Height: 300 mm
• Color: red

How to use

Position the clamp so the jaws align with the surfaces to be held, then tighten until the workpieces are secure but not over-compressed. Check that the contact faces sit flat against the material to avoid marring or shifting. For repetitive tasks, verify moving parts operate smoothly and apply even pressure across the clamped area. When storing, keep the clamp in a dry location to prevent corrosion of the steel components.

Recommendations

Use appropriate protective pads when clamping finished or delicate surfaces to prevent marks. Inspect the clamp regularly for wear on contact faces and for smooth action of the mechanism; replace if deformation or significant wear appears. Avoid using the clamp as a prying tool or applying impact loads beyond normal clamping force.
