Fungus:
Even if they're quick blow they're not going to save you from anything.

a) Stick to low voltage work with this meter
b) Think twice before selecting a range with a fuse in it (unfortunately these meters don't require you to move the cable to a different connector to get a fused range).
Crumble:
Very true, it is unlikely to help when using mains, but it might just save you a cascading failure in the DUT when probing around, so I would recommend trying to buy a new set of fuses rather than bridging them. That is why I gave the links. I goofed when measuring a NiCd battery for a cordless drill, these are known to be capable of some serious currents.

One of the real weak points of these meters (IMHO) is that the fuses are a non-standard size and it's almost impossible to find replacements.
stj:
that's not true, 10mm is a standard size, just not one that should be in a meter!

I had no trouble finding replacements on eBay. You might need to buy leaded ones, but that shouldn't really be a problem.
