The biggest issue with a fuse tap is that the legs of the tap are wider than the legs of a standard fuse, which causes the receptacle to open. This can lead to a poor connection for both the original circuit and the added on circuit. More importantly, though, many people use fuse taps so they can easily remove and return back to normal, but having opened the fuse receptacles with the tap, putting a standard fuse back in will now be loose and may not make good contact anymore. It's one of those things where once the receptacle is ruined, it can be exceptionally difficult to repair. I'm definitely not saying it happens every time, but I am saying that most reputable shops wouldn't use one. The ease of use isn't worth the potential costly repair for them, it might be for you.
