Abstract: A tool for removing a blade type fuse comprises a pair of facing forks 12, divided into two from their inner ends to respectively form first and second pairs of legs 14 respectively joined by linking portions 15a, 15b which are capable of moving together and apart. A separating section 18 is provided projecting from the first linking portion 15a, which can be urged between flanges 16 to separate the forks 12.The tool permits the forks 12 to be gripped for removal of the fuse, but by gripping the linking portions 15a, 15b the forks will separate to permit the fuse to be removed from the tool.
