Screwdrivers/pliers on airplane?

[joshw10]

I'll be going on a trip soon and was wondering if anyone thinks Id get stopped taking a small screwdriver set, small pliers, in a carry on. I'd rather not have to check any bags.

Most airlines have a list of what you can and cannot bring aboard in your carry on, check your carriers website

I'd say you won't be allowed them, especially the screwdriver set.
That being said, I did manage to have a small foladble knife in my wallet for a trip to the US and Canada a couple of years ago, but it was folded up and in my wallet so wasn't easy to spot.
I did almost get a 5mm allan key confiscated once, and that's less dangerous than a screwdriver.

Leave them behind. It's not worth the trouble.
