Review on Littelfuse 00940554Z Profile JCase Super by Dean Love

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useful kit but fuse puller almost useless

Good handy set of quality components. The handy fuse tester has button cell batteries internally, which will eventually fail as the batteries age. Batteries cannot be replaced if you cannot separate the glued halves of the tester. On the other hand, the fuse pulling feature is almost useless because it is too bulky to fit between the closely spaced fuses in today's high density fuse boxes. . I had to resort to special pliers that were on hand to pull the fuse. It would be nice if someone made a compact *nonconductive* fuse puller that is safe to use on high density fuse blocks. This should probably be done with heavy-duty sheet metal spring retainers combined with molded plastic "pliers" that fit between fuses yet are strong enough to pull out stuck fuses.

Pros
  • Littelfuse Value Packs include a full range of standard fuses
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared
