Well Made, Decent Design
This bar works as you would expect and is very solidly made. It was also reasonably priced, unlike the exorbitantly expensive Rode version, which had the advantage of angle markings for different stereo recording techniques. The design is reasonable for the price, although I feel like there must be a better design out there somewhere that clips in place rather than having to screw things and have them come loose if the cables come under pressure from a reflection shield or any other object close to the mics. This is certainly not a big issue at this very reasonable price, however.

Does what it needs to do - without fuss
This is a very simple - no nonsense item, where K&H delivers on a simple promise: a piece of solid metal that you can use to position a stereo pair of microphones. I used these with a pair of very small SDC-s (CM4), but I'm sure it would have worked with anything similar. My only complaint is that you have to tighten the screws quite a lot to make the mikes stay where you want them to and this might leave visible marks/scratches on the surface of the bar.
I did actually return this item, but it was because of the microphones, NOT the stereo bar - which I would recommend to anyone, especially if portability is an issue (it's light and strong).

A classic easy-to-use gadget
This bar works fairly well as a cheap means of setting up ORTF and XY configurations. The screws generally hold tight and there's enough flexibility to set up intermediary stereo positions. The bar also works well for pop shields and Reflexion Filters, and as an added bonus can be combined with multiple K&M bars to make larger structures (e.g. Decca Tree).

Dont expect too much of this

Pretty good for the price, a bit hard to adjust, but you can get used to it.

Does its job
Totally worth the purchase, comes very helpful when you want to have a stereo setup.
I would say that it is built for lighter mics

Fine for its purpose.
Well made, will likely last for a long time - good quality plasitc on the adjusters, metal everywhere else.
It can get a good tight hold on mic clips, and they lock quite well at the edges, they haven't slipped so far. Also it's very light so it should put less strain on your mic stand with the boom arm extended.
Although it does correctly state the dimensions in the description, I was surprised by how small it is - It's fine for most things I can think of using it for, but who doesn't wish for an extra inch every now and then?
It does a simple job, as well as can be expected, for very little money - no complaints.

What is there to say...
It's a bar that lets you put two mics on one stand. With small mics and a long thread on your stand, you might even be able to squeeze three on there (one in the centre).
All metal (bar the grips on the screw heads), and thick enough that you can't even flex it without considerable effort.
The maximum distance between the screws is about 17.5cm, but you lose some of that because the ends are enlarged (so you can remove the screws).
Also worth noting - it's pretty tight to use for an ORTF set up with dynamics, as the back end of the mic plus a straight XLR cable mean they almost touch in the middle. With smaller condensers it's fine though.
