Review on Alden 9207P Ease Out Standard Extractor by Patricia Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GOOD PRODUCT! Real problem solving

GREAT PRODUCT! A real problem solver! I rarely, very rarely, give reviews. But this product completed three long overdue lamp repairs/replacements so quickly that I immediately ran to my computer after fixing my outlets that had been useless for literally months! I replaced the canister lamp over the sink, one in the hallway, and one in a cheap little lamp where the bulbs had gone into the sockets. The glass flasks were taken out, but the metal nozzle was stuck inside. It took between 30 seconds and a minute to fix a detail. I didn't use the sign because it didn't fit in the canisters or lampshade. Rusted lightbulb parts will fall out, so be careful and wear glasses. Or just don't stand under the socket! You have to use some force and sometimes the tool seems too big to fit in the socket or not safe. It also seems that he may have been a little flimsy. But every time I pulled it out and looked into the socket, the metal part of the bulb came out farther, and a few more turns was enough. He was never in danger of breaking. The cartridge was undamaged, the replacement bulbs worked perfectly! Before using this product, I made sure the power to each lightbulb was turned off (I only unplugged the lightbulb). Anyway, I can't believe I waited this long to get my headlights fixed. I heard about the potato trick but really didn't want to put potatoes in my eye sockets and risk damaging them by leaving chunks of potato behind. I'm glad I searched the internet and found this article! I'm really, really sorry I didn't have anyone else for our bag/gift exchange tonight. A great gift for EVERY family :)
