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

Performance notes
