Default Re: Repairing a mains voltage heating element

I knew one person who was so mean that when a household light bulb blew he would carefully tilt the bulb until the ends of the broken filament touched and put it back into use. He'd do this several times until the filament broke somewhere else. He would then take the blown bulb to his place of work and swap the duff one for the one in the workshop toilet.
