Bussmann Eaton Series ATC Blade Fuse Kit - 42 Pieces

I always need fuses it seems, and never have the right one available. This assortment has several fuses in each of the common sizes from 5 amp to 30 amp.PLUS, there's a bonus. The fuse puller also has sliding contacts and a light that can be placed against the terminals of the fuse and tell you if the fuse is good... if it lights up, the fuse is good.Don't use it with the fuse installed, BTW.So, a good assortment of quality fuses (Buss has been in business for decades), plus an extraction tool that also can check the fuses... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Bussman is a quality name so that's why I purchased these. Though I was concerned that a reviewer said their fuses didn't have the contact points at the top end of the fuse so they could be tested without removing them, mine do. So these are perfect and the included tester/puller will work on them.

This is a nice collection of different ATC blade fuses. It covers most of the common values and can get you out of a jam if a critical fuse blows.The included tester/puller works pretty well. It can test blade fuses for a variety of sizes, but is very unwieldy to use in some tight spaces. Unless you're positioned perfectly, which isn't always possible, it's hard to see the indicator light. The fuse puller portion works pretty well, but with the same limitations in cramped spaces.When using the tester, the circuit you're testing has to be loaded since it's indicating voltage drop between the two sides of the fuse. If the circuit isn't completed when the tester's put in place, there's no return path for the power and the light won't light.To test a fuse on an open circuit, you'd have to use a multimeter and compare both sides against ground (assuming the fuse is on the'hot' side of the circuit) or just use an ohmmeter with the fuse pulled.

I looked over all the different fuse sets. I chose this one because it includes more fuse sizes then some of the others, and it also has a fuse tester included for free. These are NOT the mini fuses. I bought these because my furnace board has a 5 amp fuse and it was blown during a lightning storm.

These are fuses ok? So it's not like investing is something big.But after spending way-too-much for one or two fuses each time I needed one, plus the trip to the auto store, I figured this was good to have around.Since the fuse I needed was going into a collectable/show car with a clear fuse box cover, I wanted the fuses to match or be as good as the original one. So I skipped all of the cheaper alternatives and decided on this assortment. These match exactly (though that probably doesn't make much difference to most people).The fuse that blew was a 5 amp fuse that I missed the first time checking. I was used to fuses that looked different after they blew. The 5 amp doesn't look bad without testing or inspection with a magnifying glass. I finally found it by using a giant Fluke electrical tester which was a pain to contact with the small fuse leads. So the tester is an especially good tool to have on hand.They say reusable box but it's thermo-sealed so much, it's probably not possible to open without pretty much destroying the box. Not a big deal really. I'll just keep them in a plastic zip-lock bag.

With today's cars, one can go a decade or more and never need to replace a fuse. Then when you need one...so pick up this handy kit, choose 2-3 values based on what is in your fusebox, then seal them in a plastic bag in your glovebox.With several vehicles and "toys" this was the balance point for me.

We went out camping without any spare fuses and ended up regretting it when our lights didn't work in our camper. Upon returning I immediately ordered these. I now have these in case I run into a similar problem again.

THIS ITEM IS MAY BE DANGEROUS AND MISLEADING, NOT AS DESCRIBED. Poor quality control. I purchased on 11/10/15. Only needed it today. I replaced an ATC blade fuse and could not get the included Bussman puller/tester to indicate by lighting up that the new fuse was good. As I examined the fuse itself (and later all of the other new fuses) I used a bright light to transilluminate the body of the fuse. I observed the back of the blades (visible through the translucent plastic housing that holds the gauged fuse link, and the testing ports on the back) were not nearly long enough to be reached by the prongs of the yellow, FT-3 fuse tester/puller. The testing tabs were at the very least a full 1/4 of an inch from being exposed buried in plastic. The cute fuse tester worked great on my other OE fuses but not on this piece of crap. I compared the photo of the fuses as depicted on this site and the shafts of the product I received were about half as long as the picture's. I examined all of the fused and they all were defective. The description that is on the product page states that ATC blade fuses meet or exceed OE and SAE requirements. That is not correct, these blades are not as described.
