A hand-held device for extracting a base of a light bulb from a socket, including a body portion, circular in cross-section, and of a diameter which is easily grasped by the human hand; and constructed of rubber or the like material which does not convey electrical current; a rubber jacket over the body portion having protrusions to allow the user to have a firm, non-slip grip on the device when in use; each end being conically shaped end; the first end being of an increasing conical diameter, so as to allow the end to be inserted into a typically sized light bulb base, and the second end being of a slightly less conical diameter to allow the end to be inserted into smaller bulbs, such as Christmas tree or chandelier sized bulbs. Each of the two conical ends would be hollowed out to a certain extent. Further the surface of each conically shaped end would comprise a plurality of parallel ridges which would provide a firmer grip between the device and the bulb base. In use, one end of the device would be inserted into the hollow base of the spent bulb, until the conical surface makes frictional engagement with the interior of the bulb base. At this point, the device is rotated and imparts rotation to the base, which unscrews from the light socket. Even if the power to the fixture is on, the device would not transmit electrical current to the use because of its material makeup.
