Chadsey Marketing Safety Lamp Changer A safe, easy and time-saving method for changing electric light bulbs, also for removing broken lamp bases, without the burdensome use of ladders or staging is said to be provided by the Chadsey Lamp Changer.

A couple of twists of the wrist brings the light bulb in or out of the socket. The adjustable feature of the Chadsey Angle Adapter overcomes the difficulty of reaching and replacing any lamp mounted up to an angle of 90 degrees.
