The clip is solid in the AC vent

Works good, but blocks the AC vent it's installed o.

You will also need to hook the mount onto a AC vent.

I mounted this on my ac vent

They work as they should

Good as that means it should grip the vents better, but bad if you're looking to take the mount off on a frequent basis as this may wear down the clips or scratch your vents should the clips wear down.-Ball joint is also a double edge sword

These connect snugly and are just the right length for my multi-device charging station as well as for my laptop

The only shortcoming is the mount slips now and then from the a/c vent vane

n’t break the wires on the inside
