somebody bought blade fuses on ebay caue they were _cheap_ and now they spit "loving ebay fuses" with mad venom, as if it's ebay's fault Verified, US seller ebay is vastly different from poo poo China Sort-Price-Low-To-High ebay quality, glad they were able to paint with that nice broad brush

Also, if I wanted to be a lovely, unscientific jackass, I'd definitely use spade terminals or alligator clips on flying leads to test these, which will add resistance and thus heat generation, which you can obviously tell they did because the melty fuse didn't stay straight at all. if it was in a blade fuse holder those would still be parallel

BTW I bought a cheapo assortment of fuses from Hong Kong (the store, not the place) and man I got used to the smell of burning plastic because my car was an Opel. I wonder how many car fires get started because people don't want to pay more than 0.1 cents for a fuse?

There's that segment of the population that is simply not willing to spend any more than the lowest possible price for anything. Like, even if spending 10% more gets you 5x the quality (or is the difference between works and doesn't do its job). As far as they are concerned why spend more? Separate from that what Johnny290 said about alligator clips and junk reminded me of how I was super dumb when I first started playing with motor drivers for some beefy as gently caress DC motors. I hooked it all up together with test alligator leads to everything and couldn't figure out why it was all stuttery and poo poo. My entire experience had all been low current stuff and these were power hungry inductive loads, they needed proper gauge wire with proper connectors and twisting the pairs to avoid big sloppy inductive loops - all that honestly never occured to me. I eventually figured it out and felt really dumb, but it was also kind of cool to see actual physical effects and see it all go away just by changing stuff like wire gauge, connectors, and clean wiring.

I gave up on fastenal Amazon's actually not bad for finding electronics parts. I'm sure I paid more than I needed to, but when I needed some caps for my TV I was able to get what I needed with 20 spares for about $10 with free two-day shipping because prime. I've bought replacement laptop displays off of Amazon and they've been about what I'd expect from any generic part site.
