Rented a compression tester last week - didn't know glow plugs could crack like that

Had the exact same thing happen on my old F250 last winter. Thought I was just checking compression and ended up fishing out pieces of a busted glow plug tip from the cylinder. Took me half a day with a magnet and a lot of cussing.

Ngl, that sounds rough but is it really that big a deal? A busted glow plug tip ain't the end of the world, just takes some patience and a good magnet. @hugo_nelson, half a day with some cussing is pretty standard for any truck repair anyway, right?
