All you Electrical Guys

I agree that there are advantages to using fuses over breakers in some
instances. 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.
