Or just tool companies trying to create demand; fuses terminal cleaners e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UQn0RfrEnE ? I don't think it anything I have ever needed and if I did I might just disconnect the battery and re-purpose an old points file. But perhaps with engine bay fuse boxes becoming more common and thus fuse terminals thus becoming more exposed to water and in some places salt.... Now a relay socket cleaning file is something that I could often have really used (on those relays in the E series next to the coolant recovery tank) ; where the old points file and contact cleaner spray wasn't also really doing the job easily. Hmm perhaps these: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/relay-cleaners/

How many times have you used a battery terminal cleaner should answer your question, I have 1 in my tool box I have never used in 35 years

I've come across a corroded fuse panel, precisely once. Was on a few year old VAG, local car too so no sea spray. |

Most are gimmicks except for the old battery post cleaners when in the old days where most batteries breathed out acid fumes, when you were forced to clean them, these days with modern batteries these tools are virtually redundant.
