I was one of the first to use them, mine is still going strong after a year.

IF THE CLAMPS START SLIPPING: just cut a centimeter wide strip from a plastic pop bottle, wrap it round the clamp claws, and cut it leaving enough overlap so that one end just tucks under the claw.
screw the clamp back on and your sorted for another few months.
