it's the thing holding onto the leads that's the problem.

I wanted to thank the OP for the link.  I never measure high voltage/energy with my precious fluke. But I do have a brain fart once in a while and forget to switch the leads.

I'll have to order some of these!

I think I may have acquired some fake SIBA branded fuses.  I was thinking to make some sort of video comparing what I believe is a real one showing the following:

Non-destructive:
markings
length
weight
DC resistance
voltage drop at max current
case temperature at max current

Destructive
trip current
check filler

I bought some SIBA fuses on eBay recently for an old Fluke I picked up for $20.

I'm not intending to use the meter on AC mains but it would be interesting to know if the fuses are fake.  :popcorn:

I'm now selling genuine ASTM fuses in a mixed pack.
