Best fuses for under $50?

Good stuff Al :)

Al, I do the same. You should see how long I take to drive away once I start my car. I still shudder when I see someone start their car and immediately drive off. That engine won't last for long.

Inrush currents from moment of switch on, can cause a fuse to be weakened by many said inrush turn on’s, to a point of blowing one day, here's a visual proof.

Just as a note, I had a high current B&K amp a long time ago.  It tended to blow fuses, and it turned out to be an IEC cord that was really loose on the IEC connection end.  If the power cord plugs do not have a good tight connection, it can sometimes arc and cause the fuse to blow.

I have no qualms with the images of the fuse that George posted. I suppose they are of the same one as it ages. That is the type of fuse I avoid using: a bog standard one, made to a price point. 

Again, 😩, a better made fuse can be had if you're willing to pony up for it and it doesn't need to break the bank. 

All the best,
