Same here Al...I never use the word "fuse" on my Invoice..that's all the
customer focuses on.
Some of my customers that are a little technically inclined, or
presume they are, I don't even use words like resistors or capacitors.
Like on the Mitsubishi's...if I change a bunch of Caps, I bill
it out as a MOD KIT, and charge accordingly.

Since fuses and fuse ohms cost very little i NEVER put them on my bills!
It
also stops that old crap'ALL it needed was a fuse!". al
