And the cost is 50p.

Agreed. It is even easier to take the spare HBC fuse out of the
carrier and put this in the correct part of the carrier, after one
has located the fault. If one has a "wylex style" board then one may
have to locate the spare fuses, if they are not in a handy place.

Rewirable fuses suffer from the person who thinks they know what
they are doing. Such people can fail to put the wire in the right
places, even if they get the right sized wire.
