A few months back I tried the Ton Kooiman Etude thumb rest, but gave up on it. The problem for me was that it made the clarinet more difficult to hold, it felt as if it was "falling" to one side all the time, but more than anything that it doesn't actually take away the weight of the instrument from your thumb and hand. The solution for me turned out to be the FHRED telescoping peg which transfers virtually the entire weight of the clarinet from your arm to the peg. The manufacturer's web site is at http://www.quodlibet.com/FhredGen.htm
Different things work for different people, and I'm glad the Ton Kooiman thumb rest works for you, but for anyone who has tried various kinds of thumb rests without finding one that takes the strain from the right thumb/hand/arm, I recommend the FHRED. The only thing to bear in mind is that you will need a thumb rest with a ring on it to fasten it to.
