So the pathfinder mancatcher

This polearm consists of two curved metal bands that close around a target when you attack, allowing you to bind an opponent. A mancatcher is built to capture a creature of a particular size category (such as Small or Medium) and doesn't work on creatures of the wrong size. Make a touch attack to hit an opponent and a combat maneuver check to grapple him (without the –4 penalty for not having two hands free); success means you and the target are grappled. Once the target is grappled, you can perform a move or damage grapple action against him. The mancatcher has hardness 10 and 5 hit points; breaking it requires a DC 26 Strength check. If you drop the mancatcher, the target can free himself as a standard action.

What I'm wondering about is you can as a medium creature purchase one to use on say a huge creature right?

First off: I am not sure, but my hunch would be...

Yes, but it wouldn't work as well? Maybe you could make it a team effort, like the sandbenders capturing Appa in Avatar. So several smaller creatures grappeling one larger creature? Again, not sure, but even with this weapon, it seems unlikely that an elf could grapple a troll.
