Is there something I can pick up at my local radio shack or Home Depot that I can use in place of a fuse to test a gi strand that keeps blowing that associated fuse?

Quoted from Blackbeard:Is there something I can pick up at my local radio shack or Home Depot that I can use in place of a fuse to test a gi strand that keeps blowing that associated fuse?
People have used a household circuit breaker modified to hook into the fuse holder. That way when it "blows" all you have to do is reset the breaker. I would love to have one but have no clue how to make one. Maybe someone who does will chime in.
Here you go, old thread, good idea

Here is a post of mine a couple of years ago, step by steps how to, any breaker will do.
