Stop me if you’ve heard this one: “ How many TBN’ers dos it take to unscrew a broken lightbulb?”

Evidently not enough yet.

No, the answer is a 12" Knipex Cobra:

Sorry, don't have a broken light bulb base to get a picture of. :)

I bought my Knipex Cobra XL on Monday! Found out that it really is pronounced K-nip-ex, which is the Germanic way... well, it is made in Germany.

Now that we have unsuccessfully unstuck a drain plug and a light bulb, does anyone have anything else that is stuck that we cannot agree how to unstick? :confused3:

I have a key stuck in a truck ignition. To make matters worse it won’t turn either.

How many fasteners and auxiliary panels/other components do you have to remover first to get at the switch to replace it? What's the flat rate manual time standard to do all that? Let's see my Ford dealer charges $110/hr for shop time.

Not very much since it’s a 90s ford but I don’t think the key cylinder is designed to be removed with a key in it. Edit it’s supposed to be removed with the key in it turned to the on position but the key won’t turn and it’s stuck in the ignition in the off position.

you probably have to push it in a tiny bit more. you can buy this. https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-Br...45199914&sr=8-2&keywords=broken+key+extractor or make one from a hacksaw blade by grinding, just be sure to keep the blade cool so you don't take the temper out!(grind,cool, repeat).. a hard steel wire with a hook on it can be tried too..

Break off the blank end of a very small scrollsaw blade, so pulling teeth are on the end. Slip it in beside the key, twist a bit to engage the teeth, then pull the key out.
