    Ever tried flying with it? I wanted to take mine on a flight but didn’t want to lose it so left it at home. Would they allow it on planes?

      If you’re talking about tsa: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/multi-tools

      In general, you are prohibited from traveling with sharp objects in your carry-on bags. Multi-tools (multipurpose tools) with knives of any length are prohibited. Please pack these items in your checked bags. Multi-tools (multipurpose tools) with scissors less than 4 inches may be placed in carry-on bags.

      but don’t forget (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

      The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

        Yup, the last line holds true. Had a mini multi tool taken because I forgot about it in my bag - it definitely has less than a 4 inch blade.

          It’s the scissors that can be less than four inches; it says no knives of any length.
