Is there a tool that.....

[Rick B.]

OK, I'm going to be changing out some bathroom light fixtures that have glass globes covering the bulbs. Being that I have hands like catchers mitts the chances are half way between forget it and not a chance that I'm going to be able to screw the the globe collar nuts in by hand. Is there a tool made to install these things?

Here's the collar nut I'm talking about that holds up the glass globes.

Try searching for a shade ring wrench/socket.

Gads, a special tool needed for near everything. Rediculous. Me? I would just use a long knose pair of pliers. Doesn't need to be super tight.

Strangely I am having a similar problem with a light with a tiny shade on it.

I use a screwdriver and just tap the end, similar to other types of Jam nuts

I had one similar to that. I got lucky and found a piece of PVC that fit, I filed some notches in it and it worked great.

Some of those threads are porcelain. I wouldnt crank down on them too much.

I have never seen a tool for it among the specialized lighting tools. There is nothing for it in the lighting parts catalogs.
