    This came with an assortment of auto fuses.
    It works well and was cheap.
    Tha top is also a fuse puller.

    Great! Where is it from? How much? How does it work?

    Yeah, I assume you still have to pull the fuse to test it?

    The only fuses you need to pull to test are GI fuses (the reason is you can get a reading back through the transformer and through the bulbs). Somehow that has gotten turned into you have to remove any fuse to test it.

    it has two leads. one is adjustable. you touch the leads to the ends of the fuse and if its good the green light goes on. I got it at Walmart. I bought a multi pack of fuses for the trucks where I work to have on hand. it came with those.

    I would always remove fuses anyway to check for proper value & make sure that the fuse holders have proper tension. Seldom do you find proper fuses installed.
