good stuff, Ratstang.
Mine is exactly like the sharpe, but black. that is a mass produced chinese filter that everybody sticks their brand name on. I’ve been very happy with it.
Yup, I have a few Chinese Filters Too.
Only thing I would say is avoid the Chinese ones with the clear/transparent Polycarbonate Cups, that have the metal cage around them. It might be the specific ones I bought, but I bought it and after a few months both the cups on the bottom cracked around the drain fitting and started to have an annoying small leak in them.
I do on the other hand have two American made ones with this similar design that have held up great. (Mainly because they use a weird little seal on the bottom, whereas the Chinese ones was just an o ring with a nut on it.
This would be the specific one I am referring to.

I bought the cheapo thing for my Sand Blasting Rig. and Both the Cups on it cracked and have an annoying leak around the fitting.
