As Brent Regan points out the only really resettable function is for motors. However: And keep this in mind.... With circuit breakers, when you are flying along dumb and happy, and have a problem, you can isolate the problem and/or reduce electrical load by pulling breakers one at a time, or as a group and restoring one at a time until the culprit is identified. I guess that you could do that with your handy "fuse puller" also, and then try to put it back in place in all of that turbulence. I think I'll stick with my pull off circuit breakers thanks.
