Interesting variation. Did you get one Craig?
@someidiot 's comment about function is interesting too. If the lock presses in on the worm gear it "could" clamp. Otherwise it would do the opposite.

i was hoping someone would have first hand knowledge- but i figured it was worth the $30 to see myself. Just ordered - to arrive today.
In the link in my post above - the wording implies it clamps. Near the bottom of that link there is a short video that shows that it does indead clamp. The reviewer said: “like an adjustable and visegrip combined”
Yep! (see pic below from the link provided) - it is both left handed & metric on one side and right handed and imperial when you flip it over. Amazing!!!

If used to just lock that damn worm from easily turning I can see advantages, but actually locking the jaws onto a nut...not so much
