Step-in posts are for temporary and rotational fencing, and they hold that fence up rather than holding it tight -- tension still needs proper braced corners.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Step-in posts are for temporary and rotational fencing, and they hold that fence up rather than holding it tight -- tension still needs proper braced corners. The integral steel spike is the part that fails: in dry hard ground it bends before it enters, so these suit worked pasture rather than baked clay. Eight wire clip positions let one post carry anything from a single hot wire to a four-strand temporary fence.
Who should buy this
Rotational grazing and temporary paddock divisions on workable ground.
Who should avoid this
Permanent fence lines and hard dry ground, where driven posts are needed.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Permanent fence lines and hard dry ground, where driven posts are needed. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
Eight clip positions for one to four strands. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: No tools — stepped in by foot. No regrets after two months.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Eight clip positions for one to four strands. The one thing to know before ordering: The steel spike bends in hard dry ground. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.
