What do you think? Do you use them?

Never used one yet. But I'm not to worried about yanking my cleats
off.
Save your money, just use 3 strand nylon it has plenty of spring.
Snubbers for dock lines are for West Marine, and boatsUS fools.
AKA Bubbles & BB.

You've obviously never been in a situation where the boat is rolling
violently at the dock. Snubbers will keep your lines from parting, not
to
mention allowing you to get some sleep at night. When a boat without
snubbers snaps the dockline taut, it tends to roll the occupants of the
v-berth over.
