For the loop keys:

Also, these right cheer:

Fuses (from our dearly departed Sydney):

Fuse your charge ports: Ft. The smallest user serviceable fuse/holder

Fusing your charge ports is important. Fusing your mains leads is as well, but we’ll argue about that another day I’d have to presume a large reason a lot of us aren’t/don’t want to fuse our ports (aside from not knowing about it/being a lazy fuck) is because of space constraints. Sure, you can solder directly to the fuse as @b264 does in his The Blue One build - but in the case of needing replacement, that’s a bit of a hassle. After having found and used what I thought to be the smallest modu…

Anti-spark info is all over the place, so I’ll just say this: Right now, other than the Flipsky Enhanced Switch (which I just pulled out of service), there are almost no reliable and available anti-spark switches. This will change, but for now, go with a loop key and wait for the market to hook us up.
