Why would you think a CRT tester could snap off the neck of a CRT.
CRT testers are electrical devices that attach to the CRT base via a wire and socket and apply fairly low voltages. The only way someone could snap a neck off a CRT during testing is by having an unsafe procedure or an accident. The only way a tester could neck a tube when used properly is if the tester got hit by lightning during the test(CRTs have been known to have neck failures and implosions if subjected to voltages more than 50% over their specked HV anode voltage).
