They are very useful. I made mine with 12ga wire. Use ATC fuses and a holder similar to this:

Insert a fuse in the holder that’s rated the same as the one for the circuit you’re testing. (Preventing over amping the circuit.)
The holder should be rated for 30A max. The leads can be extended (solder the extensions on if possible for the best connection) if you wish, and (usually) male plugs/terminals on the ends.

The above is a good set up.I think you can get circuit breaker
fuses to go in the holder.This way you don’t keep wasting fuses.
