These clamps are an example of a good idea but very poor execution.Screw-on C-Clamps like these have two main parts. A rigid, C-shaped piece that fits around the edge of the shelf, tabletop, chair arm, stool, etc. and a screw that fits through the end of that "C" and cinches down onto that surface, holding the clamp securely in place. On the end of that screw is a plate, disc, or some sort of flat, washer-like fitting, increasing the surface area on the end of the screw so that it grips the underlying furniture strongly without marking it. It could even be argued that, in addition to the material of the C-clamp itself, you can tell the quality of the clamp by how well that fitting on the end of the screw is made. It plays a vital role in how well the clamp holds, after all.That gripping part, on these c-clamps, is a piece that fits on by friction, like a rubber drawer-knob cover. It's not unlike the cover you put on a game controller's analog stick but, in this case, it's rigid, fits poorly, and falls off easily. I've already begun to lose them, making those clamps utterly unusable. Cinching a bare screw down onto a solid shelf not only isn't very secure, but it will dig holes into the wood. That's what screws do!It's really a shame, too, because I own some other clamps -just- like these, but made of metal, and I love them to bits because they're so useful, light, and easy to move. But, those clamps also have large knobs that make the screws easy to turn and secure gripping plates that ensure that the clamps aren't going to budge once in place. Everything about them shows how these clamps, functionally, could've been constructed better.Thus, I really cannot recommend these. They are frustrating to store, frustrating to use, and prone to breakage.

Overall these work but they didn't quite work for me. For one, make sure the depth of your countertop is appropriate but that wasn't where I had an issue. The clamps themselves are difficult to tighten and loosen properly. They come with nice little rubber grips on the inside that are meant to be added or removed to help with the small distance you can actually tighten the top portion. Unfortunately, the rubber grips just want to fall out constantly. It's just too much of a balancing act to get them to clamp down properly with them in there.It could be functional and if your panels are on the thicker side where you don't need that rubber addition I think you'd have much better luck with it.As a hint if your counter is just a SMALL bit too wide for the clamp you can take off the rubber top to the tightening screw to give yourself a bit more room.
