For sure. These fuses have been a scourge.

Here's a video by a radio fan who's circuit is designed to blow fuses just didn't.

Curiois.: Where are those kinds of fuses used?

In the UK. I've only ever seen those in cars.

Mostly vehicles, but they're a cheap and common choice for hobby electronics too.

I've seen a little 3A fuse of that style on a furnace control board. It actually saved the day when a thermostat/wiring had a short at a neighbor's house, so there's that.

No I don't.
