TSA-approved multitool successfully tested at Manchester Airport
A traveler recently tested a TSA-approved multitool called the NexTool Mini Sailor Pliers Lite during trips to Spain. The multitool is designed to be safe for air travel since it does not have any sharp blades. It is compact and can easily attach to a keychain. The multitool includes useful features like needle-nose pliers, wire cutters, tiny scissors, a bottle opener, and Phillips and flathead screwdrivers. It is made from durable stainless steel and measures about 2.78 x 1 inches when closed. Weighing just 2.38 ounces, it is lightweight and practical for travelers. The traveler first took the tool through security at Manchester Airport in the UK, where it passed without any issues. On the return flight from Spain, the traveler accidentally set off the alarms by having the multitool in their pocket. However, security staff quickly checked it and allowed the traveler to keep it. The traveler found the multitool very handy for tasks like cutting tape and fixing luggage. They mentioned that while security procedures may vary by airport, the multitool is generally safe to carry on flights. Priced at $22, the NexTool offers good value without worrying about losing it while traveling.
