When flying, do you have to check in this tool? Can you hand-carry it? Thanks.

It has a knife and saw blades, so it cannot be carried on. It must be packed in you checked luggage if you take it.

Thanks for your response. It looks too big to carry so I will get another smaller one. I hope you never have to use it.

Well, Actualy mine I got it by hand carry in a plane from a freind, and I beleive since you don't switch it ON, there is not harm to get it an aircraft.

I'd bet if you don't carry it on.. and it's definitely less than the liquid max you're aloud to carry... but since it's a fire starting device you'd have to call the airlines probably. They're changing the laws a bit, like allowing non-locking pocket knives now. and such

Hi KayBrieKay!Unfortunately, because of the knife/contents, we cannot recommend taking this with you through airport security. You may check with the airline you fly with, though again, it is not our recommendation.If there's anything else, just let me know.

You can check it. Carrying it may result in it being confiscated since it is considered a strike tool.

I wouldn't chance it, it may get confiscated. I normally pack this in my check in luggage. I think the rule of thumb to carry on is 2-1/4" blade or less. Your best bet is to check the TSA website. Hope this helps.

I don't think so! The screws that hold the tool together are the tamper resistant type.They can be defeated, but I don't think you want to.Even if you removed the blade, there is no guaranty the TSA would let you take through anyway.I had to leave a Multi-Tool in Miami, and once was enough.

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

TSA guidances are inconsistent, http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items screwdrivers less than 7 inches are OK, however all knives are not, even though scissors with blades less than 4 inches are OK (this seems a lot more dangerous than the little blade on the Utili-Key)

I have never flown with it, but I have escorted my (minor) son through TSA/security with it many times, and never had a problem. I am always approached at the gate by attendants ready to load it for me (until they find out I am escorting only), so I assume that means it's ok. :)

I understand it to be "self cleaning', so you really should not have to maintain it in that respect. On the backside where the airline connects, you could remove that from the tool body to look inside if you are having any issues. The only problems I've had in 20 years with my nail guns are people with "sticky fingers".

I am almost certain this would have to be checked in. The pictures don't give you a true idea of how big this case is, it's a monster. I have not been on a flight in about 6 years, and I don't think this would be allowed as carry on, but I could be wrong. Please let me know if I can be more help. I did a lot of research on this case and others, and buying this case was a little bit of a gamble, but so far I have no regrets buying it.

I'm not certain what you mean. If you mean is it legal to carry electronic items like this onto a plane, I have no idea, since those rules change constantly now. You'd have to call or email the airline and ask for their list of "no-fly" items. (If you can't bring a small bottle of shampoo or hand lotion on flights now, I honestly have no idea how to judge what they will deem as against the rules anymore.) If you are wanting to know if it's a good travel size, it is. It folds neatly and doesn't take a ton of space in your bag. It works well and I've had no problems with mine. I use it a few times a week and have had it for awhile now. I hope that helps.

No, not at all. We got through at least 4 security checks with no issue. I had it in my purse through the first check and when we realized it wouldn't fit on the airline we were flying (Etihad) we kept it in our carry on for the rest of the trip.

Yes you can use it as a hand carry. I've just traveled to the Philippines last week and there was no problem with any carry on.

As far as I know It can be checked in for flight. Get some kind of letter from a doctor. It comes with a sealed battery which I was told is safe for air travel.
