The Bessey LC20 is a 20-inch F-style bar clamp from Bessey's LC series, built in Germany with an electrogalvanized steel bar and a lever-style handle. Its 4-3/4 inch throat depth and rated 1200 lb clamping pressure put it in the heavy-duty class, well above typical hobbyist F-clamps. The sliding arm lets you set the jaw quickly and then apply force with the lever handle, which suits cabinetmakers, welders and anyone gluing or holding thick stock. Against cheaper bar clamps it trades light weight for stiffness and holding power, and owners of Bessey clamps generally rate the build and jaw grip highly.

Owners of Bessey LC-series clamps describe them as stiff, strong and reliable, with jaws that grip and a bar that resists flexing under load. The main complaints are weight and the effort needed on the handle at high pressure.
