...The assertion that contact with the fuse end caps can only occur at the end of the holder is wrong too. Every common cartridge fuse holder I examined does not prevent contact with the side contact barrel as the fuse is inserted so that supposed safety feature doesn't really exist in real life. It's also possible to contact the side conductor barrel with a finger with the fuse holder cap removed but the end contact can't be reached by most human fingers.
As already noted, the only really safe manner of replacing one of these fuses is with the cord unplugged but if one chooses to tempt fate..........
