For 99% of the forum members, the requirement to pull all plugs and test them in a vice for absolute assurance of 100% performance isn't required.
I've never tested a glow plug in a vice. The test with the ohmmeter has worked with 100% precision for the past 10 years.

Disagree: 40% of members don't need to use this level of testing.
IMO glow testing is needed
* If you see SNOW.
* Can't risk missing work/appointments.
* Do not like walking in the COLD.
* Have any cold start issue.
