Some techs believe they are a waste of money, saying that a compressor that needs one is already on its deathbed. I believe if using a 3-N-1 can buy a customer another year of service, it is worth the cost.

I just run a power cord and hook it up directly to the compressor, bypassing the start package :) Just playin!!!
I love the 3 in 1 with a power cord, very quick to diagnose a dead compressor. You know if you have a compressor that wont start, I have had some luck (not alot) by hooking up 2 to 3 3 in 1's in series to try to get the compressor running.

I'm a big believer in using test cords. I use them to test water valves, motors, pumps and compressors. They're great for quick diagnoses.

I also have the "Annie Hermetic Analyzer", but use the 3in1 with power cord when time does not allow.
