We were having an old clear out of stuff thats been hoarded over the years. In an old toolbox of my dads we found some reels of fuse wire. This is obviously why he carried them.

Unusual for wire fuses to trip, the new ones though are
very sensitive.
My house is quite modern but I still have wire fuses.
Yes I do carry fuse wire.
