WOW, in that case, I'm glad I posted this. Wouldn't want ya losing a vehicle man.

What'd ya expect for $3-$10 for 120 fuses?

[feerocknok]

Aren't fuses supposed to prevent fires?

That said's it all........and your right, but it think its $6.99 ;)

 

But HF is not the only place that is selling this kit, I've seen it in other catalogs, like Max-tools, and other places.

 

Guest I'll stick with the Buss brand from now on :roll:

 

Yea.....fuses protect from fires, if they work right, if they don't "break" it's melt down time.

Last month, GM sent an internal bulletin to dealers discouraging them from using the Harbor Freight fuses and reminding dealers that the fuses are not GM parts.

 

this is what worries me more :eek:

I avoid buying anything from China, whenever possible.

 

Pay for Fuses?

 

I always grab a handfull of fuses when I'm at the Junkyard.

 

I've so many spare fuses now, it's a joke. Big ones, little ones, mini ones, all different amperages too.

I don't steal them either, I show them when I "check out", the girl there always laughs at me and doesn't charge me, (I always spend a decent buck on everything else I'm buying anyhow).

Same thing with the spare Lug Nuts that I grab, (napa wanted $5.00 each).

I always got Buss fuses from wal-mart. Or we have a decent amount sitting around since my familiy's junked 3 Xj's

I enjoy a $10 grinder, or $5 set of ball peen hammers as the next guy. But fuses?? That seem to be over the limit......
