comes in handy alot as one time i had a blown fuse and the fuse just barely blew, you couldn't even tell with your eye but when you used the little mechanism it sure told the truth!
Hi,

Yes these things do work and can be handy. But, I don't use one - don't need another tool, especially one which duplicates a tool I already have.

I use the test leads on my multimeter, set for Continuity, using the same test holes on the tops of the fuses. This does the exact same thing except audibly, not visually. If the Fuse is good, I get a Beep, if not, no sound...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
