Great to here, it gives me a safe feeling.
Sadly there is no photo of the tester visible. May be you can try to send it as an attachment instead of in the txt field. Perhaps the file size is too big?

I've never broken any of the Elesta EZ10, EZ10, EZ10B, ECT100 or ECT101 that I own when using them in their original sockets. I do have an old tester for these which contain a pin straightener which I always use before inserting them in the socket, I also use a pin of the same diameter to insert into each socket receptacle so that they aren't to tight before I insert an tube in a new socket. The only broken/damaged Elesta EZ/ECT-series I have are those that were alreaday bad when I bought them. I can recommend you that you make a pin straightener as well as a tool to widen the receptacles. You can either order these from manufacturing companies who can make them out of aluminum, or you can make them yourself by making circuit boards with the correct holes, plus some mounting holes for screws/nuts to keep them in place, and then stack a few of these boards on top of each other and drill conical holes through the first and second with a conical drill bit used for Dremel tools for the straightener, the widening tool can then be made by placing pins of the correct diameter in the straightener and then stacking a few circuit boards on top of the pins and soldering the pins to these boards. Pins can be bought on eBay. Below is a photo of my Elesta EZ10A/10B tester with the pin straightener above the text GAUGE.
