Has anyone here used any of the stackable panel clamps available?
I found these and was wondering if they are good clamps or are bad quality?

Can not determine quality from the video but the concept sure is neat; especially for a small shop.

I have seen a few different stackable clamps from a few different manufactures and they all seem to have one thing in common a great idea. However the execution of that great idea is not always so great.
Most that I have seen use a nut to tighten the clamp in this video it looks like they use a rod. My thinking it you aren't going to get it very tight. That may be good thing since most of that I have seen are made of material I don't think will take a lot of pressure.
I guess if you are really pressed for room these could help, but considering most modern glues only require a 1/2 clamp time I wondering if the it isn't more practical to reuse the clamps doing a glue up every half hour or so.
Great idea poor execution is my complaint.
