I have a couple Irwin and a few other types like Dewalt and some really cheap ones from Harbor Freight. I didn't know the heads turned around! I used them to clamp the LE and TE when gluing and they helped a lot. But I did have to watch the tightness because the clamp faces didn't stay parallel if clamped too tightly and I;m not talking about much here. It helped when the heads were pushed a little more forward past then center of pressure. In the end they were much easier to use. I bought a few when I got to building again which is my current build now.
