gu10 bulb removal tool ?

[skodaman007]

Hi all,ok i am trying to remove a gu10 bulb from an enclosed holder.

The suction tool supplied turns it until slightly loose but not enough suction grip to extract the bulb.

Is there a suction grip tool that has a stronger suction grip available.

Thank you.

The supplied ones are generally useless, as they are made from a single moulded piece of soft plastic.

Those with a separate handle are far better:

I've always managed, once the bulb is cool, by using the edge of my forefinger, and my thumb, with upward pressure and twisting. Never failed me yet.

Stick a pair of marigolds on and use two fingers, or finger and thumb if you prefer.

Attach some Selotape to the lamp and use that as a way of turning the lamp.

In my experience the lamp will turn much more easily if you do NOT press onto the lamp as you turn it.

Wow! The product description says the tool is quote
"Suitable for high voltage halogen lamps"

More than 1000volts AC, Blimey

Have to agree, that's my method.































And it's excellent for removing lamps, too.
