Hello from Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

fuse not blown, want to see if bypass will fix it, then it would be a faulty holder..............

Nope. Not a good idea. What if the holder is faulty because of overcurrent? There are three much safer ways to do this:

1. Do what @Chicken lights suggested. Remove the existing fuse and use an in-line fuse to jumper the connections.

2. Physically disconnect one end of the wiring someplace remote from the fuse and use a continuity tester on various parts of the circuit and in particular the fuse and fuse holder.

3. Use a multimeter to test for voltage at both sides of the fuse, and across the fuse.
 
I have to say I am so disappointed with the company Busy Bee Tools.
I’m sorry to hear of your troubles.

I can understand how you feel having dreamt about getting these tools and then having issues getting faults rectified.

Hope it works out and Busy Bee steps up to make the bitter taste go away.
