Thought about making something on a few occasions...finally had enough of lifting the playfield and removing from the bottom. Had the alligator clips in the tickle trunk so it dawned on me that it would fit tightly on the pencil. Just had to cut the alligator clip sleeve in the fattest part of the taper and it slid over the pencil perfectly. The new rubber eraser assists in removing stubborn bulbs. Anyway, thought I would share.
Groovy! Might want to add this tool here to:

Quoted from erak:Nice, thanks for sharing.
Nice tickle trunk reference too.
Not sure if too many people would get it. Other than us Canadians.
I grew up on mr dressup! Great reference

Growing up I lived beside the CBC studios in Toronto, met the man himself and watched many shows being taped! Obscure reference but as stated a "Canadian" thing!
Quoted from o-din:There once was something called a spark plug boot that works very well too.
That's what I use.
