Esteemed Wrenches I normally drive to jobs with my tools, or UPS ship the tools ahead of time. This upcoming MET tower maintenance job in Nevada is too tight a timeline to drive or ship. I figured some of you have recent experience with this, and the rules seem to change quickly. I have to fly with my impact, driver, 3 batteries and charger.
>From the TSA PDF (no date of course): https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/faa_airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf My batteries are 56 watt-hour lithium ion; I'd rather not have this heavy stuff in my carry-on. What is "protected" for checked bags, the Makita has a sliding sleeve. Does that count? No "spare" batteries allowed in checked bags? I am taking this that I can bring one battery in my checked bag, one in my carryon, and a charger? That would work. Any input appreciated, a long security delay or seized tools would be a big problem.
