Inside the barrel is a 12V bulb.

Attach the alligator clip to earth - anywhere close will do. Inscrew the cap and touch the pointy bit on the hot side of the fuse. It should light the lamp inside the barrel. Put it on the other side of the fuse - look for light. No light - fuse blown or dirty contact.

The pointy sharp bit is also good for burrowing through the insulation into a wire to see if it is alive.

You could also make something similar with 2 bits of lead and a park light bulb soldered to the leads.
