I had a call this morning.
The owner put a full set of glow plugs in a vice at the same time, quickly tested them.
Opened the vice, and "reflex action" caught three before they hit the floor.

He was quicker than most to drop them, getting relatively minor burns.
After applying
silvadene, he called to discuss the glow intensity/color.

He was terribly embarrassed by his reflex action, with extreme knowledge of the danger as a plastic surgeon, specializing in burn reconstruction and rehabilitation.
Warning for members:
Let them hit the floor, no glow plug is worth the BURN...
