other than having a fuse its a breaker so u don't have to replace the fuse if you blow it. |

There IS a down side to it. A breaker turns the cautious into the careless. You'll get into the habit of just resetting the breaker instead of finding/solving the problem.
Don't be lazy. |

It means I'd like to not see you depend on a breaker. When your sh1t trips it's for a reason. If you don't correct the problem and just keep "hitting the button" it will eventually cause more problems, even maybe a fire.
Think of it like a heart attack. If you could just reset a breaker on your heart every time you have a heart attack does that mean everything's ok now??!!
Think long term man. When your system cries for help/fails it means something. Solve it now. It's more expensive later trust me. |

ok i just offered money for it. hahahaha.
its better than spending 14 bucks for a fuse if i drop a wire or something. thats the only time i have blown a fuse. when i droped it on a ground or something like that. if i set something up wrong i will fix it |
