Do anyone here used mags clamp? I have seen many pictures of soldiers using duct tape to hold two mags together. I guess it speed up reloading your AK in a hurry. So again do anyone have experience using them?

I have clamped two magazines together using duct tape and zip ties. I did not find the arrangement to be practical.
YMMV

Those probably won't work if your rifle has a side rail. The second (left side) magazine probably won't clear the rail.
In any case, I find that the second magazine has an adverse effect on the balance which more than offsets any advantage in reloading speed.
But then, I find that most people greatly overestimate the importance of high speed magazine changes so YMMV.
