Default Anyone tried this catch-can?

I posted this in tech first. Not really a can but looks like it will perform the same basic function. Found it while searching for a used catch can, what are the thoughts on this? anyone think it will work?
It's about 50.00 i'm just wondering is it worth it. If it keeps even some oil out the engine i figure that's a good thing.

I saw a guy at a show with one that looked like that. I asked him about it and he told me it was just a moisture trap for a compressor. Really intrigued me and wanted me to make one instead of buying the one on ebay like the one you have pictured.

Yeah, for the price I might buy it just to see if it works.

You can pick up the same parts at Home Depot or Lowes for less than $50 pretty easily. Look at what he has for parts in the kit and make a trip. Hopefully someone else that has done this will chime in. Like I have said, I have thought about it but never done it.
