The bracket is generally well-made, and mounting it to the clamp is straightforward. Exposing the recesses in the clamp's base is a bit fiddly. Important for specific applications: Due to the way it's mounted in the base, the "front" bracket can only be installed facing backwards in the direction of pull. (The guide bracket included with this small size can only be mounted facing forwards.)

I use these clamps for various purposes on board. They work well and reliably. They are also durable. It's important to note that the included bracket can only be mounted in front of the clamp, and the bracket from the accessories can only be mounted behind it. Always look in the direction of pull.

I used the rubber cord as a topline on the spinnaker pole. Unlike a cheaper version, it's significantly stronger, allowing me to use a 6 mm line instead of an 8 mm one. Since, in my experience, these lines are much more durable and, above all, weatherproof, the price is also lower over time.

I use this line as 10 mm sheets. Its woolly surface provides excellent grip, reducing hand fatigue. It also has good abrasion resistance. Because of the higher friction, I use blocks one size larger; so, for the 10 mm sheets, I use 12 mm blocks.
