I've noticed that after using the "preferred" fuse taps, if you later remove the fuse tap it will have expanded the fuse's socket and the fuse then does not fit as tightly as it did before, but is loose and fits kind of sloppy.
I agree completely about the wire taps. In my opinion, there really is no substitute, quality-wise, for an old-fashioned splice, solder and heat shrink connection.
You get what you pay for? A quality electrical connection is not something to take lightly. I've seen what electrical fires do to cars and trucks and it ain't pretty.
Nor are intermittent electrical problems caused by loose fuses, or wires that broke after having the quickie wire taps used on them and tracking these faults down later can be a real nightmare.
Cutting, splicing, soldering and then using heat shrink tubing is a real pain --- but is the only "right" way to make splices, in my opinion...
