        <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>
