Dropped on Head as a Baby
When I saw that moparmatt19 had started a thread about an upcoming invention that he is planning on putting into production it intrigued me. He's been elusive with details but I'm curious enough to keep an eye on his thread so I can find out more.
It did get me thinking about something that I would like to see made but I don't believe anyone has. It also made me wonder how many of you other guys have had ideas that you've kept to yourselves.
I wanted to see someone make an adapter that would replace the old style glass fuses and enable the use of new style fuses. The old glass fuses are sometimes difficult to remove, they break, it's difficult to see what size they are, and you can't always tell if they're bad when the solder on the ends come loose. A lot of folks don't want to change out the original fuse boxes unless they're damaged.
I'd rather use these:

When I searched for images online to illustrate what I was talking about I came across a site that is actually selling the parts I wanted to see made.

So even though my idea had already been thought of I thought some of you might have a wish list of your own. How about it? Anybody out there got any cool ideas?
