Unless someone can actually verify that the washers are solid brass or copper I’d treat that picture with a hefty amount of suspicion.

Ha ha. They aren't copper. I dunno what the hell they plate the things in. Looks like something you would see on a cracker jack ringm

I went with these. BUSS also makes a nice one.
This was the end of my "journey"
in trying breakers, then the crappy fuse holder like you have and then ultimately these.Fastronix 250 Amp MEGA/AMG Fuse Holder Kit https://a.co/d/59ZctPG
I have since changed some stuff and have now moved up to Victron power-in.

I don't care what Windy Nation posts, this is wrong. Copper lug in direct contact with copper fuse.......... I bought some of these, even the"plated" fuses that came with are garbage. They reside in my electrical junk drawer.

I swapped out the fuse for a new one and now have the lug/fuse together both in direct contact with the bottom part of the fuse holder. Now its...warm. Not hot. Much better. Thx! I appreciate all the feedback.
Temps up to -2c today! Spring!!

Honestly Amazon. I'm happy to use a better vendor if you can suggest one. Amazon is good about returns....they are easy and I've returned a few sheeety components that didn't work so...that part is nice.
