ABSTRACT:
A tool for removing a broken incandescent light bulb has a handle with a head projecting therefrom and preferably a resilient gripping member which snugly enshrouds the head, to frictionally engage an inner wall of the base of a broken light bulb such that when the tool is rotated the base can be dislodged from a light bulb socket. In a preferred embodiment a collar with stiffening ribs surrounds the tool, positioned to protect the user's hand from falling shards of glass. In a further preferred embodiment an accessory tool having one or more heads of different sizes is adapted to fit within a hollow end of the handle.
