A manly automotive fuse puller

[skulldrinker]

Every time i pull a fuse i either have to use a pliers or some little candy *** baby **** piece of plastic **** yellow fuse puller. Does anyone make a mega-looking fuse puller suitable to command a place next to my professional tools in my drawer?

 

[Buckgnarly]

Do your candy *** tools do the job?

Perhaps you could enter the bay with an entourage and theme music much like WWE wrestlers anytime you need to pull a fuse? Could make the tools look tougher at least.

This is what I use. If you want expensive Snap on wants $75.

When I pull fuses, I want to pull fuses like a MAN.



Am I the only one lost here?

 

[cheechi]

Nope, I think you're right on the money.

 

[wise]

The most manly way is with your finger nails. Breaking finger nails off at work is more manly then cutting them short.

 

[Danglerb]

I prefer the get the fuse out without breaking something expensive cheap plastic fuse pullers.

Or modify a pair of Needlenose the same way?

^i would agree with Dimitri and take a file to needle nose

Agreed, and most times I want a non-conductive tool to remove fuses too.

 

[carterbeauford]

smash the fuse box with a drilling hammer and rewire everything hot. real men don't need fused circuits.

Thread has been answered. Lock it please!

I have older versions of the two smaller ones of these, and they work fine.

Chuck Norris doesn't use fuses.
He wills the electricity to jump the gap.

If it doesn't, he'll kick its ***!

 

[celticbhoy]

Attach a clip to the fuse, tie a piece of string from the clip to a larger piece of rope, tie that piece of rope to a giant *** pickup truck, and haul ***.

 

[mech-tech]

Maybe try using a porta-power

 

[joecon]

I use snap on ign.pliers

 

[ADSR]

LMAO @ all the BS in here!

Candy *** ! Very funny now that's a 60s term for sure.

Back to the fuse puller, what about needle nose, those are stout & macho, real men use their fingers.

Use of the pinch method:
pinch force + fuse extraction pull = fuse removal

Removal of the fuse requires the use of the following human tools, thumb and index finger.

These instructions are found on the back side of the fuse box, do not remove the tag.

Coming into this thread, I was thinking "WWCND?". I'm kinda disappointed that it took 14 posts to actually get there...

I use this for those stubborn fuses.

For regular fuses I get by just fine by using my hydraulically actuated Jaws of life to gently pinch the fuse. Then I give it a slight pull and I am usually good to go. I have to do this fast, because the longer I take the faster my facial hair grows and the deeper my voice gets. If my voice gets too deep it scares those around me when I talk, so I "balance the scales" so to speak by using the regular plastic "girly" fuse extractor for every other fuse extraction.

If there are any fuses putting up a fight because of corrosion on the blades, I hook a come-a-long to a D-ring that I welded to the back end of the Jaws of life. That gets me the extra pull I sometimes need to get the job done. I have to be careful though, because if any woman sees me do it that way she becomes instantly pregnant.

NOTE- These are just stock pictures from the internet, not my personal fuse extraction tools. I am not posting actual tools, because just the sight of them increases female fertility beyond what even birth control pills can counteract. I do not want to be responsible for causing a GarageJournal baby boom.

NOTE 2- All this being said, grinding a slight notch on the inside of both tips of a spare pair of needle nose pliers is another perfectly viable option that is still manly enough for most.

 

[HaroRider]

I use my teeth..like a real man..

 

[skulldrinker]

you guys are cracking me up!


The only thing that I seen cool was that Grainger pliers with the indents at the tip. But also like the other statement about not sticking anything metal in there. But But I already use a regular pliers and haven't had any shocks yet. So I may think about getting that one from Grainger.

Thanks for the help and humor.

 

[Kracin]

give em a little notch, at least with these you won't accidentally shock yourself if you are too manly to use a pair of plastic fuse pullers on live fuses...

 

[The Ratchet Man]

I used a nail file with a polka dot handle to pull a fuse one time in a pinch. Turns out it ripped a massive hole in the fabric of the space time continuum. I was sent to a time when the only tools were sticks and rocks, and neither was available in chrome!

To get back the Ol' Lady had to step onto a tool truck AND buy something 3 times! I was stuck there for months!

To keep that from happening again I just trade the vehicle in when a fuse blows.

B.S.

my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandpa's rocks were all chrome-jesanium, but he prefered the marble finish on his sticks.

 

[The Ratchet Man]

Ah yes...the marble finish. I never got to see them in person but word on the trail was they were top notch. They never rounded nail heads and were easy to clean with the hard handle.

COO was Pangaea...I think. Very manly in their day.

 

[Brad54]

I just drop my pants, angle my body into place, firmly (but not toooo firmly) grasp my **** in my right hand, and while supporting my upper body by grasping the A-pillar with my left, beat the fuse panel vigorously until the fuse is knocked free.

-Brad

 

[rlitman]

Really? You're going to break something that way.
I suggest you turn around, and grab the fuse with your cheeks.

 

[W650Mike]

I once dated a girl who could pull them...

 

[skulldrinker]

My first thoughts were a puller for the flat blade fuses not the old round ones and these are 12 volt fuses i'm talking about so I don't see any shocking danger to me.

 

[blackz26]

Fuses? I'm mainly enough to live on with out the effected accessories. Just yell out the window when you are turning, slowing down and sign your own tunes. Who needs a radio?

 

[Lhorn]

Using a piece of your skirt or one of your maxipads will help you get a better grip when pulling these fuses.

 

[redwrench60]

Lol, I like to use a slide hammer and a vise grip adaptor on my straight jaw vise grips for those really stubborn fuses.

 

[mech-tech]

If the fuse is really stuck in there, I just hit it with my purse

 

[greasemonkey44]

hahahaha
sillyness here i love it
ive used everything from a leather man to a flathead screwdriver
to an engine crane and pallet snatcher

 

[trucker101]

I changed a fuse once & said never again!!! Tinfoil is the best investment I ever made! No more worrying about

*manly*​

pullers!
Sniff.....sniff ...SNIFF!!!!
What's that smell? Smells like plastic melting??

 

[Kracin]

there shouldn't be any shocking danger to people putting fuses in high voltage boxes either because the power should be off.. but you won't find an industrial fuse puller that is even remotely conductive for a reason. just saying lol. might as well just get a good pair that can stay in the fuse box. that way no one can lose it without you knowing

 

[TheGrooveking]

When I'm not using my telekinetic powers to bend spoons in my neighbors kitchen drawers I just summons those fuses to pop right out using my massive mental muscle's tractor beam.
