Don't see how it applies clamping pressure to the joint?

The cheap ones used some tricked up "C" clamps. There is at least a lap
or spline joint going on here, or you have just done a 45 degree cut,
and nailed/glued it together. The clamp just keeps it square while the
glue sets up.

When combined with the outer portion it applies pressure to the
individual boards.

It's basically a variation on these:

So it doesnt draw the joint together like a band clamp will? ( I know
it doesnt claim that)

No. Its purpose is to hold the joint square rather than draw it together.

Ok thanks.
Doesn't seem very useful, I remember years ago I had some of those Pony
corner clamps and they were not of much use either

I actually prefer these (and well cut joints) for miter assembly:

Don't those leave divots in the wood?

How do you deal with the divots that are made by the clamp?

That's always been my question about these clamps. Maybe use
double-stick tape to put some sacrificial wood pads under the clamp?
But they are never shown that way. Of course, if you were planning to
plane or sand after assembly, the marks might be shallow enough to get
removed?

Very tiny ones. If they're a problem, small rubber pads are available.

They're terrific.

With the little rubber suction cups that are in the picture.

Usually the divots are so small they're easily filled with finish.

Thanks! I think I'll give them a try.

Dang I do like the DT marking idea.
