I'm not sure if someone here put me onto this but....

Jaycar sell blade fuses in circuit breaker form. Auto and manual reset versions in both normal and mini sizes.

About $6 each and about twice as tall as a normal blade fuse but very handy if you don't usually carry spares.

Yep, seen those.

They have a 100Amp rating before they pop. Saw it on Mythbusters. At least they are reusable.

Just wrap alfoil around the old round fuses when they blow, garanteed never to blow again. :lol: :lol: I have seen thick fence wire used in place of car fuses, also 2.5mm tie wire used in the old ceramic house fuses. :roll: Some people just look for dumb ways to fix things

We used to see bolts used, we referred to them as the 5000A fuse.
