Abstract: A device including adjustably opposing jaws for grasping a lighting tube for insertion into or removal from a lighting fixture. The device includes a handle having a head bracket attached to or formed at a first end of the handle. The head bracket supports adjustably opposing jaws including a first jaw pivotally attached to the head bracket and a second jaw hingedly attached to the first jaw and thereby pivotably attached to the head bracket. A control rod is connected to the first and second jaws and may be used for rotation or pivotal movement of the opposing jaws relative to the head bracket by pushing or pulling the control rod, and adjustment of the distance between the faces of the opposing first and second jaws by rotation of the control rod about its longitudinal axis.
