This is especially true for the Compressor. You don't want you lose your Pneumatics because you've blown a $0.25 Fuse.

Other than that, I don't believe we've ever blow a Spike Fuse with a Motor, but I'm sure it is possible, so if you've got a few extra 20A breakers it's worth throwing them into the Spike's just for peace of mind.
