I was motivated to buy a new shock mount because I have an AT4040 and found that it was a major hassle moving it from my vocal mic stand to an angled desktop stand I use for recording acoustic guitar because I only have one mic. Anyone who has used the native AT4040's shock mount can attest to the fact that getting it in and out of the mount with any regularity quickly becomes an exercise in frustration.
I'll give you both the good and bad.
I do suspect that over time, inserting and removing my mic from the mounting clamp will result in cosmetic wear and scratches to its coated black finish. I certainly wouldn't put a thousand dollar mic in there for that reason. The AT4040 is low-mid range in price and I will likely never sell it. Even the native mount leaves some wear on the body. I treat all my music equipment as a working tool and eventually, they will show signs of use. I personally love it when great guitarists play instruments covered in well earned scars but felt this should be noted in case that's important to you.
Also, I suspect the isolation properties of the AT4040's native mount's additional rubber band suspension WITHIN the outer shock mount adds additional isolation not offered by this cheaper mount. However, at least so far, it just doesn't seem to have impacted me. I guess I just don't make a great deal of contact with the mic stands I use.
I can't speak to durability. Frankly, given the price, I would be shocked if it lasted for more than a year or so, but if you aren't hard on your stuff and you handle things gently, I suspect this will do fine for some time. The one area that I think may be weak is the angled wing fastener which just doesn't seem to tighten as much as I'd want before reaching its maximum torqued position. If anything gives over time, it will likely be that connection.
What I really love with this item is the pinch-and-release mechanism because it's so much easier to use than the AT4040's native isolation mount which is deeply gripped by rubber bands that are difficult to reinsert back into. No question, the native one is also made of slightly higher quality materials but it isn't really designed for that kind of regular in-out access.
I like that for such a low price - about the same as a cocktail or a bottle of wine - I also get a pop filter which seems to be working for me. I used to use a much larger circular flexi-arm-mounted pop-filter and just found it so distracting and 'in my face'. It would also need constant adjusting as it would droop over time. I much prefer the compact nature of the mic mounted one that comes with this kit.
In the end, I bought a second so that both my mic stands use this mount and I can very quickly move between the two.
FINAL IMPORTANT WARNING for AT4040 Owners:
If you have an AT4040 remember that there are a couple of raised switches (for engaging dB attenuation and high pass filter) at the bottom of the back of the microphone. You may want to make sure you seat the mic deep enough into the clamp so that the slightly raised switches are BELOW the bottom of the clamp to ensure it doesn't put unnecessary pressure on those switches. That said, it means a wider part of the mic will be in the midst of the clamp which means more pressure on the body. To alleviate this I stretched the clips out to a wide position to try and lesson the tension on the mic I was putting in it. (The AT4040 is definitely at the upper range of this mounts capacity.)

Barely fits ATR-2500x mic
This mount seems to do its job, but squeezing my Audio Technica ATR-2500x into it was not easy.The 2500x has buttons and a headphone jack that will become obscured by the mount, but I don't use them anyway. I only have the minus button covered, but it doesn't seem to be pressed down by the metal band. I think you can rotate the band to avoid the buttons, but I'm not going to find out because my hand hurts.At first I was worried about the mic possibly falling out, but after taking an eternity to pry the mount open, there's no doubt in my mind that it's held fast.If you have a hand disability or a weak grip, find someone to put this on for you.The pop filter sits pretty close to the mic, so maybe keep it a little further away from your mouth.
