Nothing can be made completely foolproof, but requiring more than a
cheap tea-spoon to access the fuse in a moulded on BS1363 plug is not
even trying.


Make it more difficult and it will be easier to cut off the plug and
hold the bare wires into the socket with a couple of match sticks - or
preferably with a couple of nails..

For something to be safe you don't make it impossible to fix without
special tools. Having to take something apart to replace a fuse isn't
safe. People are going to see if the fix works before reassembling the
item.

While I guess everyone on this group may have a set of screwdrivers
and/or security bit readily to hand many households don't have these
items.
