Abstract: Disclosed is a new lamp base removing tool for extracting mogul-type and medium-type lamp bases from a socket when the lamp is broken. The lamp base removing tool comprises an elongated generally cylindrical body formed of rigid dielectric material. The body also has an axial concavity formed in a distal end thereof for receiving residual shards which may protrude inside the lamp base. A plurality of equally spaced apart rigid sharpened pins projects equidistantly from the distal end of the body for piercing engagement with an interior end portion of the lamp base. The pins are aligned with each other in a circular pattern and are concentrically positioned on the distal end of the body whereby torque applied to the body causes the lamp base engaged with the pins to rotate out of the socket.
