Flown many times with my tools. Batteries are carry on, and all the
rest of the tools need to go in the checked baggage.<br>

<div>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.</div>

<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any input appreciated, a long security delay or seized
tools would be a big problem.</div>
