Accepted Answer

Yes, the Bulb Grabber is primarily made of plastic and non-conductive.  However, we always recommend turning off power or circuits to avoid any potential issues.

Question 5

Why is it so difficult to pull down on the handle?

Accepted Answer

In order for the Bulb Grabber to have the required grip force to hold and turn bulbs the tension created by the internal mechanism is necessary to be set to this level. We recommend setting the device on the floor when pulling down on the upper mechanism which creates additional leverage and makes it easier to operate when loading and unloading bulbs.

Question 9

What is the sound I hear when I pull down on the handle?

Accepted Answer

The mechanism that opens and closes the fingers will make some sound when the fingers are expanded and contracted and also when the pole is extended or contracted.  This is a normal operating sound and nothing to worry about.

Question 10

Will it work on ceiling fan lights?

Accepted Answer

As long as the physical light bulbs are accessible from the ground and you have enough room based on the angle of the bulbs to access them you should be able to use the Bulb Grabber to remove and replace light bulbs in your ceiling fan.
