I know this is a complete and total necro-thread but......
has anyone on here used these things a time or two and if so what say you about them??????

Once un-threaded, the plastic threads don't seal back up well. Mine leaked CO2 like crazy. I even tried a bunch of different o-rings with no luck. I ended up going back to pin locks. At $30 bucks for a used pin lock keg, the plastic pub keg isn't worth the investment, for a home brewer. If you had an inverted Sanke keg filler, where you didn't have to un-thread the top, like in a commercial environment, they'd probably be fine.
