    You won't get through security with anything that could conceivably used as a weapon so, for example, a hammer or a screwdriver would be out.

    It will only be a small amount of tools in checked luggage so hopefully it's ok.

    Sorry, I misread your first post. :o

    There's no problem if they're in checked luggage.
