I remember when this was in Kickstarter (or one of it's sisters) and felt it was not needed. If you know your system, nothing is needed but the right length of line and temperature.
I like that we have so many options but in my opinion (as a keep it simple stupid kind of guy), this is just someone who was bored and looking for something to sell.

Sorry, no. But I heard about a number of things like this a while back, too.
Of course if you buy one you have to post a video review!

I am on the fence about it. I am thinking about trying to make one myself, probably cost me the same as buying one

No, but I was thinking about this one when I recently had some hop material clogging the dip tube on a keg of double IPA recently...

So I had my first pull last night with the new pick ups. Beer was much more clear than in the past. The beer still needs some aging, but not much yeast in the beer. I will be outfitting all of my kegs with these. I priced out the parts to make them myself, but I would only be saving $5 - $10, and the guy only charged $5.99 for shipping on 3 of them.

Nice....it's great to see something actually work the way it is intended. Too often we buy things that we hope work in a certain manner, so it's nice to hear that this is working well so far.

The only "problem" I have with it is when I go to clean my kegs I reuse all of the PBW and Starsan, and it doesn't get all the way down so I have to open the lid and dump the rest out. So then I have to repurge the empty with co2 again. Minor, but I can deal.

I like this so much, I went ahead and outfitted all 9 of my kegs.
