Trick to removing glow plugs without bleeding to death?

Ok..

I had to remove my glowplugs again for the 3rd time in a year. 4 of them died to varrying degree's.

2 of them died completely. (infinite resistance)
2 of them had a resistance of around 30 ohms.

My question is this, is there a way to remove them without donating blood?

The backs of my hands look like I put them through a plate glass window.

Now I do have gorilla hands, but still. It shouldn't take 4 hours and 2 pints of blood to swap out some glow plugs...
