I stayed bc you kept saying "confronted with" 😆 lol great tips!
He needs a tee that says,,,,“confronted”
LOLOLOL! It made me chuckle too! It really is a very helpful video!
@@GettingToJoy Ikr!😁
@Shanel- Yeah, all that ''confronted with" made me feel guilty ... and I didn't even do anything!
The most helpful and clear videos for these topics on UA-cam are ALWAYS from small creators ten years ago and this is no exception. Fantastic work! Thank you so much!!
eleven years later, your video saves my evening. I can finally get that broken bulb out!!
My microwave bulbs were stuck in the socket. Thanks to you, I know how to remove them. Good presentation. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks
A big thank you. I can't believe how simple these things are once you find the right person to tell you. I've just very easily removed a metal base following your instructions.
Seriously one of the most informative videos I've probably ever seen on UA-cam! So helpful. I'm a college student, so I can't have my dad come by and fix anything anymore. Next best thing!
I live in Karachi Pakistan and I like your comment if you don't mind
Thank you so much!!! I tried the needle nose pliers to open up and twist the broken bulb base and it worked beautifully! You saved this old grandma some money calling in someone. My 10 yr. old grand son helped hold the step ladder for me!!!
Thank you so much! It's great that you put these type of "Public Service" videos up!
Your my hero :) I just fixed some slender lightbulbs that fit in an overhanging fan (4 of them) because of your tutorial!
So impressed! Loved the finger-nose pliers that you mentioned. And you being so careful to teach the right way to open it up into the bulb hole area. WAY TO GO! THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!!
I was wondering what happened to Sean Penn! His best work yet!
😆😆😆😆
Thank you for these tips! I broke my oven bulb and thought I’d have to call a repairman to fix it. You saved me at least a $100 call-out bill for something so minor. I’m very pleased with myself that it worked so well. 😊
Brilliant!! You saved a beautiful lamp! Thanks for making this video.
Wonderful suggestions. Thank you for thinking of us single MOMS.
This was EXCELLENT!! Thank you so much, Dino Pinch, you helped me with my bulb that completely separated from the base!
Single gal Wendy from Wisconsin here. I don't have a man around the place, so I found your video to be very, very helpful. You demonstrate and describe the process thoroughly. Also, I like your delivery and personality.
Thank you for this video! You saved me from having to call an electrician! Job done!
I’m a single mom and had a cfl bulb crack in my daughter’s track lighting. After 3 failed attempts of removing it, I found this video. The plastic bag trick worked like a charm. Thank you for the helpful video!
Chris Kyle
Awesome video! No nonsense and straight to the point. Thank you! I'm going from dreading broken bulbs to looking for one now. Haha.
Great video - i had a completely broken small light bulb in a ceiling fan, and your suggestion with the needle nose totally worked! thanks again.
Thanks! You saved me a lot of heartache with this video!
Thank you for this tutorial! Showing us the different ways a light bulb could break and the solutions were very informative. I was about to jam a potato into my light bulb until you showed me that I just had to grab the middle piece and twist. Thanks again and I love your energy and enthusiasm!
Thank you so much! I had two different types of broken light bulbs (two different sockets) and your instructions saved me!
Thnx so much, this is really an essential vid unless you want to live in dark until the handyman arrives!
I've just got a broken light bulb off the socket based on you instruction. The wife was impressed. You're my hero! Thanks.
God bless UA-cam and God bless you sir! The part at 6:15 helped me. One of those life hacks that I’ll never forget. Thanks!
ATLbench oh that’s what I was looking for thanks for time stamping it
Same, thank you Dino!
Yup, worked perfect for me too. Never tried that before...
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I watched this video before tackeling the broken Thomas Edison lb in the socket upstairs. Your vids have all the info one would need if you're a DIYer! You're a good Teacher because you demonstrate what you're doing with the different scenerios.... TY!
Dino, thank you, you gave me the courage to try to remove the broken light bulk! After many months I now have a functioning light outside my back door.
I knew someone would have a video that made it look so easy!! Thanks so much just subscribed
Great instructions, you helped me fix my stuck lightbulb base.
Thank you! Needle nose pliers worked like a charm!!
You are a life saver! Just replaced two broken bulbs beneath the over the stove microwave. It took me a while jiggling with the needle nose pliers but finally got those little suckers out. I am a widow, age 71, doing this stuff for the first time. Love it! Thank you so much for your video. I could not have done this without your help!!!
Thank you for covering all the bases.
Thank you for posting this video! It was the first video I saw when searching and using the needle nose worked for my situation.
Tracey J.
You are very very welcome! I'm happy to help, my mission it's "teach the peeps" & yeah...the powers at UA-cam, they loving me, as Google owns UA-cam..I'm number one search return on all kinds ...thanks sooooo much for watching!!
Great job.
T Johnson thx for the great advice! The needle nose pliers worked! I remembered using them years ago.
As it did for me!
Excellent presentation...
thank you for helping me get out the base of that Edison bulb. It was kinda hard to get to, since it was over my kitchen sink, and I am a short 77 year old widow. i had to climb onto a step ladder and into the sink, then i had to climb out of the sink to go down stairs and turn off the breakers, back up stairs, back on the ladder and into the sink. after several attempts to loosen the hardware, i had to climb back out if the sink and get a bigger pair of plyers, back onto the step ladder and back into the sink and following instructions, it started to move! i can't thank you enough! your instructions saved this "old lady" a bunch of money. thank you so very much!
You are a lifesaver. I had struggled for about 20mins and finally took the broken bulb out after watching the video. Thank you.
So helpful! Now if you could do a video for idiots who always lose their pliers, that would be great!
Hahahahaha omg 🤦♂️maybe put bells on them so you won’t mis them lol
Yep… that was me not finding them. Regular pliers and an old sock did it for the nothing but metal situation for me.
Thank you! I was trying to change the tiny light on the underside of my microwave and the glass part of the old bulb completely separated from the metal part - clean separation no broken glass. The needle nose pliers worked great even in the tiny cavity. Once I find the right size bulb I will finally be able to see what I am cooking!
Same. Except it happened in a place where I couldn't fit any pliers but going lefty loose-y with an insulated screwdriver worked. The trick was to keep applying a little bit of pressure and doing it incrementally.
Do u have to turn electric off to ur microwave so u don’t get shocked?
@@chasitykizzia7367 my microwave plugs into an outlet that's on the wall in a cabinet above it. So I just unplugged it. Generally, yes you should cut the power to avoid getting zapped.
You are awesome!!! I have 3 men living in my house and they were ALL afraid to help me. Big babies!!! With your help, I was able to do it myself!! Just like I fixed the ice maker in the freezer of the refrigerator. It cost me $26.00 for the parts and works better than before!! Thanks for thinking of us ladies :)
OMG you are a lifesaver. I am a 64 year old widow on a fixed income and I had no idea how to fix this. You are very clear and give great directions. Have you done any more of these videos for us gurls? I need help all the time!!!
Thank you!!! I was driving myself crazy with a metal base that was stuck in the socket. Your last tip did the trick. Wish I'd thought of looking it up sooner!
Thanks to your video I was able to get a bulb out that I had been completely broken off I want to say at least two years-for some reason I thought we would get electrocuted if we tried to remove it and had been using three out of the four bulbs on our bathroom light fixture. I was able to use some scissor type of plier cutters and remove the metal base of the bulb with ease and replace the bulb and our bathroom has never looked brighter. 🔆🎆
thank you for watching and thanks for the wonderful comment, very thoughtful
Well that's what happens when women listen to feminists and don't have a man in the house. I bet you wish you'd listed to yer ma and married sooner in life.
Damned bathroom lights...uuuuggghh!!!
I had difficulty removing a metal base stuck inside the ceiling light socket. Thanks to your helpful video, I could take it out with a needlenose plier. You got yourself a new UA-cam subscriber.
Thank you so much for the tips! I had a broken off light bulb in my oven and the pliers trick worked perfectly!
thx, had only a metal base and was a pain to get it out.
Didn't have any pliers so I used a scissor instead.
Ook thanks! Thats what i cane in the comments to find out!
Thank you so much, u saved my life! :)
Sir. I would just like to say what your doing really does make a difference. You saved me from having to buy a whole new heat lamp for my bearded dragon and i am so greatful
I can't begin to say how this video helped me!! Thank you!
Thanks I am a lady of 63 yrs old
How many Dino Pinch's does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Probably one. Lol
Good tips man.
Hahaha...love it!
This was so helpful. Couldn't get out the broken metal for weeks and thanks to you it's fixed!!!
Thanks! I used the needle-nosed pliers trick. It worked perfectly!
Hey, yo Dino, love the vid's. I bet you're trip to have a beer with.
Thanks, the needle noses actually worked!
Thank you so much for making this video! It allowed me to take care of my broken lightbulb all by myself. It has been broken for months. Thanks again!
You sir, are a life saver. after my mom passed about 4 months ago I got an old fashioned lamp that has been converted from oil to electrical, it's well over 100 years old and has been passed down for generations. Imagine how upset i was when i got it in to my new apartment and the bulb had smashed, only leaving the small metal end. thank you so much!
"confronted..."
Lol, the electric effect is a hard re-set of your brain. think one flew over the cuckoo's nest....you should be feeling well being...Thx
Really appreciate the video. Needle nose pliers worked great!
This is an excellent video. 5 stars for clear directions. I'm a recent widow so I appreciated the instructions to get things taken care of on my own.
Thank you, Dino! I finally managed to get that stuck oven light bulb out. The glass bulb broke off the base. The empty metal base was fused in the socket. I had to crimp the edges with needlenose pliers as you demonstrated. Your tips were invaluable. You can't imagine what a relief it is. Thanks again. Your channel deserves more sponsors!
If you’re ever “confronted with this one”… is the best catchiest phrase! 🤣🤣🤣What a great clip! Legit every case scenario! Exact info I was looking for! Thanks Dino 👍🏻
Now this is progressive teaching. I got it out in under 1 minute! You sir are the best! I had an oven bulb completely stuck in there with no glass and your handy needle nose plier trick did it. I'm female and would have to wait for the landlord for 4 days to come and attempt it. And yes, I took the oven door off and back on as well!
Thank you very much!! As an old lady with not much confidence in my handy woman skills, you taught me how to remove a shattered light bulb base from the socket! I did it all by myself!!!
Came back to this page and fixed my broken light bulb issue in seconds. I had that Thomas Edison broken light bulb issue and followed your instructions and got 2 broken bulbs removed. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!! Your you tube tips just saved me a service call for an electrician!!!
Dino...thank you so much for posting this video...I'll use this method to remove my broken bulb now...I love your style, BTW!! You just made things so simple to understand & showed everything anyone needed to do, in order to "fix" their light fixtures!!💡 Ahah, Dino...it worked & my light fixture is now lighting up my kitchen/dining area again, thanks to you! Take care, my friend & stay well & stay safe too...Blessings!! I subbed you too, Dino...& yes, I'm a woman, but a widowed one, I was lucky & married a guy that could do just about anything, but sadly he passed away from cancer, caused by Agent Orange, when he was stationed in Vietnam, during the war there. He was just 51 years old...he'd had cancer 3 times, with the 3rd one, taking his life. My life will never be the same, that was 25 years ago this last Dec! I miss him every day, but not because of what he could do, but because he was my soul mate for sure!!
What a great guy - someone who would be good to know in "real life." Very clear, easy to understand instructions. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! Hubby is in the hospital and I broke the bulb and because of you I can fix it!
So helpful! Thanks from a mostly self-sufficient lady.
WOW! I love the idea of keeping a needle nose open.
Thank you for your wisdom and sharing it with everyone!
You rock. Have been taking showers in the dark for months because the light bulb busted off and I didn't know how to remove it! You da BOMB.
4:40 Nothing left but the metal part…. needle nose pliers, only I couldn’t find my needle nose pliers. So, after attempting with just pliers, and pliers wrapped with sticky tape wrapped sticky side up , I improvised with regular pliers and an old sock. It worked!
I had almost given up. But your. idea inspired me to keep trying and also appreciated seeing the direction of the turn. Lefty loosely, righty tighty.
I had been doing it right, but when there was no movement from all my first attempts I started to question myself. Thank you!
Your clearly demonstrated, down to earth, practical, super well explained tips here have me subscribed and so thankful.
Thank You!!!
This guy, Dino saved me a call to some handyman who would probably have overcharged me. I am 70 years old & didn't think I could do this myself--climbing up on a ladder to change out a broken lightbulb. I followed his instructions and voila! It worked. Thanks Dino!
Good DIY fixers for situations that started off easy until the bulb broke. You saved me!!
Damn, that's needlenose method was CLUTCH for removing a broken bulb at my place. Mad props, my dude!
God Bless u man, The base was stuck i was doing it wrong. I got fed up n saw ur tutorial.U saved me.👍🏾💯
THANK YOU!!!!! I had a broken light bulb in my electric oven. I struggled for 1/2 an hour trying everything I could think of to remove and replace it. It was even more difficult because the bulb is not on the back wall of the oven, it is on the roof of the oven so I had to have a flash light and a mirror to see what I was doing. I found your tip and used a long needle nose pliar just as you said by inserting first and then open and it worked !!!! Thank you, God bless you, what a life saver. I was so frustrated and now it's fixed.
Thank you so much for posting this. Took care of my dilemma is less than 1 minute. Much appreciated!
Thank you. I watched this and immediately took on the task. I was amazed how easy the job was once watching your video. Well done, sir.
Thanks Dino! Used your needle nose pliers method and now I’m a superhero to my wife!
This was so helpful!! Thank You!
Helped me get a broken light bulb out of my over the hood microwave. Thanks for the good tips! Great video and entertaining to boot!
Thank you for this informative video. My husband was ready for a surgical removal with all his tools he readied to extract the remaining piece. He was dumbfounded when I was able to remove a broken bulb that had the flat filament exposed. After moving it back & forth, the bulb loosened and I was able to twist and remove it! I found your video very helpful!
Thank you from an old lady! I turned off the circuit just to be safe and was able to grab the center stem. And now I know how to use the needle nose pliers if there is only the metal base left.
Thank u! I had to do the needle nose. I'm relieved to have it fixed!
thank you so much!!! I'd been waiting weeks for my husband to replace a bulb in a kitchen fixture, and when he didn't, I tried - that's when I saw it was broken! I searched on Amazon for a tool to remove that metal part, but none of them got very good reviews, so I googled and found your video! I went to my tool bench (yes, MINE), got a pair of needlenoses, and voilá! YOU helped me do it! :D
OMG so thankful for this video. I had a broken Thomas Edison bulb for the past 4 months and didn't know how to get it out til this video. Thanks alot! New subscriber! 👍🏽
Thank you, thank you!! The needle nose worked for me! August 2022 and this video is still helpful 10 yrs later! Cheers and bless you!
Good demo Dino. I like your use of t-shirt for contrast (details, details, details) keep it up. The joke about your early days is priceless
Omg! Thank you sooo much for posting this video for me. I turned off the electrical panel, and I followed your very detailed instructions. I'm right handed, but the way the light was set up on my front porch. Whew! I worked it, worked it, worked it, and it finally started to move. I was super excited. Thank you very very much. I did it yall
I'm in Australia and have no family to help, so I used your tip when I was left with just the metal in two Kitchen lights.,worked a treat. My girls are impressed with their old mum., best video ever.., thank you..
Georgina Lambie oh, nice work Georgina!
I can't thank you enough for this video! My light bulb had exploded and just the filament in the middle was hanging down. I did not have any needle nose pliers so couldn't try to unscrew it. I was afraid to grab the filament, thinking it would break off and cut my fingers. But thanks to this video I tried it, and it worked perfectly! God bless you for being so helpful.
This video was very helpful. Instruction was simple and precise. Thank you, Dino
Hi, your video has helped me immensely. I've been trying to remove the old bulb stems in two rooms, in vain. I came across this wonderful video of yours, packed with fun and real advice. And guess what? In a matter of minutes I managed to clear the old remnants and replace them with new bulbs. Hooray! We have light in the house again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much! As woman on a budget with no men to assist (unfortunately), this video saved me so much money. My bulb had broken at the base, been installed at an angle, had rusted in from disuse and was a bayonet connection. But your easy to follow instructions got the job done. Thanks from Australia, mate.
A+ video! Helped me removed a rusted and broken bulb the previous homeowner left behind.
Your tip worked perfectly! My short arms weren’t any help when trying to reach the broken bulb inside my oven, but I managed! I really appreciate videos like this. Thanks so much!
I tried for 1.5 to remove the broken light bulb, watched other videos, nothing helped.
This tip works, finely. Thanks!!!
I'm so glad I found your video, I had two ceiling fans with Broken Bulbs in the socket and I thought I would have to replace the entire ceiling fan because I could not figure out how to remove the bulb. I was able to removed both with very little trouble wiggling back-and-forth as you showed in the video and it worked great thank you so much, and please keep posting these useful videos.
This is a life saver. Haven't had a porch light in nearly a month because maintenance is backed up at my place so I want to do it myself. Thanks so much!!!
