Abstract
A tool for removing a broken light bulb base from a socket includes a body member for supporting a tubular resiliently deformable bulb base gripping head member operable to engage a broken bulb base including the glass bulb base portion, if remaining intact with the bulb base, whereby axial and rotational forces exerted by the tool body member effects substantial elastic deformation of the head member into frictional gripping engagement with the base to permit rotation of the base and removal from a socket. The body member includes a rigid tubular support part for engaging one end of the resilient head member but the rigid support part does not engage or enter the bulb base. The tool may be provided with a second resilient head member and supporting body member nestable in the first mentioned body member and usable for smaller diameter broken bulb bases. An adapter part is provided for mounting the tool on the end of an elongated pole for reaching otherwise inaccessible bulbs.
