Broken Light bulb... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

[teresa06]

So I was talking to my friend and she told me her son pulled a lamp off the table and the light bulb broke. It is still like screwed into the fixture and there is still some glass on it and stuff. She cant figure out how to unscrew it without cutting her hand all up. If anyone has any suggestions of how she can get the broken light bulb out without cutting her hand all up please let me know ASAP!

If not please BUMP the post.

THank you!!!

Make sure its unplugged and turned off... cut a potato in half... wedge it on the bulb and turn =) Hope this helps!

I heard you can use a raw potato to get it out. Push it into the metal part and turn

un plug, use needle point plyers to grab the side and twist out. if you can't grab the side put the pliers IN the void and open and hold tight (expanded..) and try to twist, go slow at first.

I've never heard of the potato trick - I was going to suggest to put on a pair of gardening gloves, then put an oven mitt over that...

Make sure it's unplugged first.

Peace,
