Our verdict

A small, light Bessey clamp suited to detail and hobby work, not a substitute for a full size bar clamp on bigger glue ups.

Overview

At 8 ounces and 1 by 8.25 by 4.62 inches, the Bessey WS-1 is a lightweight clamp built for small scale holding rather than heavy bar clamp work.

At under half a pound, the WS-1 is far lighter than Bessey's larger bar and pipe clamps, fitting more into the category of a small spring or hand clamp for detail tasks. The listing does not specify jaw opening or clamping pressure, so exact capacity is unconfirmed.

Who it's for

Works for woodworkers, crafters or hobbyists needing a light clamp for small pieces or glue ups. Not suited to jobs needing high clamping force or a wide jaw opening, where a larger Bessey bar clamp would fit better.
