[RE-wrenches] traveling with digital meters

[Kirk Herander]

Whether to check or carry-on instrumentation must also depend on the type of battery inside the instrument. Aren’t lithium-ions a no-go in the cargo hold?

I agree, check probes, carry meters, TSA is too inconsistent to figure out if it's always going to be let through. However, I just barely squeaked through entrance customs last week, there was a $2000 limit for bringing equipment into country. Check and make sure that you won't have to pay customs taxes or get your meters yanked at customs!

Hi Jay - I was busted for the probes in Canada. Too sharp. Fortunately it was a tiny airport and my checked bags were right outside on the tarmac, so the nice Air Canada lady went out and put the probes in.

So now I check the probes, and carry on the meter.

Hi All,

I believe this was talked about in the past, but I can’t find it.

I’m going to be traveling out of the country with a clamp on w/probes

And curious if I should/can check this or carry it on?

thanks

jay
