Abstract
A device for removing or inserting a fuse, in particular an automotive safety fuse from or into a fuse base in a fuse strip. The device has a first and a second elongate arm each of which has a distal end and a proximal end whereby an engaging section that may be brought into engagement with the fuse is provided in the distal end portion of the first and the second arm. The device further includes a first connecting section connecting the first and the second arm to each other and provided proximally to the engaging section. The device has a second connecting section to connect the arms at a distance proximally to the first connecting sections and the first and second arms are articulated in such a way that reducing the distance between the two arms in the portion between the two connecting sections causes the distance between the distal ends of the two arms to increase, and that reducing the distance of the two arms in the portion proximal to the second connecting section causes the distance between the distal ends of the two arms to decrease.
