ABSTRACT:
A tool for removing the base of a broken light bulb from the socket is disclosed. The tool is comprised of at least one curved tip adapted to engage the inside surface of the broken light bulb base and handles attached to the curved tip. When the handles are compressed, the tip expands to firmly fit into the broken light bulb base. Rotation of the tool causes the base to become loosened and then removed from the socket.
