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 RUclips are ALWAYS from small creators ten years ago and this is no exception. Fantastic work! Thank you so much!!
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.
eleven years later, your video saves my evening. I can finally get that broken bulb out!!
Seriously one of the most informative videos I've probably ever seen on RUclips! 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
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!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! I had two different types of broken light bulbs (two different sockets) and your instructions saved me!
This was EXCELLENT!! Thank you so much, Dino Pinch, you helped me with my bulb that completely separated from the base!
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!
Wonderful suggestions. Thank you for thinking of us single MOMS.
You are a lifesaver. I had struggled for about 20mins and finally took the broken bulb out after watching the video. Thank you.
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 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!
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!

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. 😊
WOW! I love the idea of keeping a needle nose open.
Thank you for your wisdom and sharing it with everyone!
Great instructions, you helped me fix my stuck lightbulb base.
Awesome video! No nonsense and straight to the point. Thank you! I'm going from dreading broken bulbs to looking for one now. Haha.
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!!!
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!
God bless RUclips 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! Needle nose pliers worked like a charm!!
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
This was so helpful. Couldn't get out the broken metal for weeks and thanks to you it's fixed!!!
Excellent presentation...
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!
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!
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!
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 RUclips, they loving me, as Google owns RUclips..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!
I was wondering what happened to Sean Penn! His best work yet!
😆😆😆😆
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 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 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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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 so much, u saved my life! :)
Thank you so much! It's great that you put these type of "Public Service" videos up!
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!
How many Dino Pinch's does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Probably one. Lol
Good tips man.
Hahaha...love it!
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 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!
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!
Thanks I am a lady of 63 yrs old
Hey, yo Dino, love the vid's. I bet you're trip to have a beer with.
I can't begin to say how this video helped me!! Thank you!
Thank you. This is excellent. I was at a loss how to remove a broken bulb from an above the range microwave over. Thanks to you I now know to use a needle nose pliers. Due to the severely confined space I need one with a bent tip. Thankfully my sister's old jewelry making kit had exactly what I needed and now I'm done.
Thanks, the needle noses actually worked!
"confronted..."
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.
Thank you so much for posting this. Took care of my dilemma is less than 1 minute. Much appreciated!
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!
Thnx so much, this is really an essential vid unless you want to live in dark until the handyman arrives!
Great practical tips. Dino knows his stuff. Thanks for all of your help.
What a great guy - someone who would be good to know in "real life." Very clear, easy to understand instructions. Thank you so much!
A+ video! Helped me removed a rusted and broken bulb the previous homeowner left behind.
Thanks for all the details - very helpful, clear explanations and I appreciate the "why it works" especially!
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!
Good DIY fixers for situations that started off easy until the bulb broke. You 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 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!
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.
Brilliant!! You saved a beautiful lamp! Thanks for making this video.
Thanks Dino! Used your needle nose pliers method and now I’m a superhero to my wife!
Thank you. I had to get a broken CFL bulb out. I didn't know about the mercury. I did it exactly like you said. Really helped me.
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! You saved me a lot of heartache with this video!
This video was very helpful. Instruction was simple and precise. Thank you, Dino
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
Thanks so much for this info. This wasn't the first site I visited in my search for suggestions, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't remove a corroded outdoor light bulb that had broken off completely. After watching this video I crimped and crimped the metal collar till I could eventually pull it out. Screwed a new light bulb in, and it worked perfectly. Now I need to get some teflon or silicone spray so the base of the light bulb I just put in can be sprayed before it corrodes and gives me the same problem all over again.
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
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!
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!!!
Thanks so much for the tips! Especially when it's just the base stuck in there. I'm a single mom, and my kid is moving out in a couple of weeks, and I needed to know this on my own. Great video!
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 RUclips subscriber.
Thank you Dino! This was a great video! It definitely helped with a pesky hallway bulb
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!
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.
These are great tips! I work at a hardware store, and I know these tips will come in handy. Thanks for posting. :)
Thank you so much! The needle nose pliers opened up worked like a charm. Never would have thought of it without your video.
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 :)
Thank you for this video! You saved me from having to call an electrician! Job done!
Great video, to the point and very clear with the instructions. Even I was able to remove the lightbulb!!
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!!!
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 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.
Thank you, Dino! I was going to call maintenance but had a feeling I could do it without turning off the circuit breaker. Piece a cake!
@ 3:54 I had a bulb exactly like this in my kid's room. You explained the steps very clearly :) I got the bulb changed in minutes!! Thanks for putting this information out!!
Very helpful! I was "confronted" with an exterior, corroded, broken bulb. So I used more than 1 of your tips! Thanks😊👍
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 👍🏻
I’m super glad I happened to find your video. Helped me sort my issue with a broken bulb! Thank you!
The needle nose technique worked perfectly, thanks for posting
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.
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 so much. I had a bulb shatter in my fridge and when I looked closer, both bulbs were shattered and only the metal part remained. With the help of your tip on using needle nose pliers at around 5:00 in to the video, I was able to get the metal part of both bulbs out in about 10 minutes. I salute you sir!
Great tips and demonstrations! Looked this up today for a bulb broke within the socket and didn't remember what to do. Didn't want to use my potato so the needle nose was a charm. Thanks and please continue making these videos...
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!
Thanks man! In the past I've used the needle nose pliers by grabbing the side and being able to twist it, but with these little light bulbs it was just bending it. I never thought about just shoving the needle nose inside and opening them to twist it out. You're a lifesaver!
Thanks for posting this video. Thought I was going to need to call a repairman but your video was easy to follow.
