It won't hold the vaccuum by itself, unfortunately, so I'd have to pump with one hand, push the starter trigger with the other, and read the compression gauge at the same time ... I guess that's possible but might require more coordination than I have! I could probably hold the shutoff lever with one hand though, I may try that.
