Don’t you hate it when you try to unscrew a light bulb & it breaks off at the base!
Well, here’s a quick, easy, and very inexpensive solution! It’s the Ease-Out Broken Bulb Remover. It makes a difficult job easy, namely safely removing a broken bulb from a light socket! No more pliers! No more tape-balls. No more potatoes. Yep, there are a lot of weird ways to “try” get the broken light bulb base out of the socket, but this one works with no frustration. It comes with a plastic guard to help protect your hand from the broken bulb fragments. But you should wear protective eye gear and maybe gloves. And, oh year, SHUT OFF THE POWER before you start! This neat little device sells for under $10. The company says it’s widely available at places like Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Kmart, Lowes and True Value. And the company also says Sears sells this device under their own Craftsman brand. If you don't want to shop for one check out the link below.
On the web I found a site that sells it for under $7.00. I haven’t shopped here however:

Just discovered your site, via this mornings' WNN show. Regarding the broken bulb remover, I think I will still go the cheap way and use a potato:) Nonetheless, this gadget is a pretty good idea!
